"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain"
Anxious? Same. Struggling with depression? Ditto. Teen or young adult having trouble with peers, school, friends, or parents? Been there, done that. After experiencing many things, such as anxiety, bullying, my parent’s divorce, and much more, I can safely say, “I get it”. Do I understand exactly how you’re feeling? No, and I won’t pretend to. But I know that your adolescent and young adult years will hold some of the most challenging times of your life. I know it seems like no one understands, but I want to hear where you’re coming from and show you that your feelings are valid. I believe in a collaborative approach and utilize my skills as an anxiety specialist to work with you to understand your emotions and learn how to cope with and manage them.
