Navigating the waves of life can be hard.
But you don’t have to do it alone.
Next Wave Counseling is built on two simple truths: you’re not broken and you’re not alone. My approach is relaxed and relationship-first. I walk alongside you, offering a space to combat anxiety, decrease overwhelm, and reconnect with yourself, without any fancy jargon or clinical fluff.
Together, we’ll drop the “shoulds” and find your flow, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in your life.
Approachable,
Down-to-Earth Therapy
If life feels overwhelming or unpredictable, or you struggle with emotional ups and downs, you're not alone and don’t have to face it all by yourself. I help my clients navigate feeling:
Isolated or Disconnected
Looking around, it might seem like others easily manage life while you face challenges alone or struggle in silence.
Navigating Major Change
Big changes like becoming a parent or starting a new job can bring stress and uncertainty. When the future feels unclear, it’s easy to feel stuck.
Burnout & Exhausted
Chronic stress from work or life demands can leave you feeling disconnected, making even everyday moments heavy.
Pulled in All Directions
Balancing work, relationships, and personal needs can feel overwhelming, like you’re constantly multitasking but never truly centered.
With the right support, you can overcome these challenges and find your way forward. Together, we’ll deepen your understanding of your emotions, build resilience, and discover a path that feels authentic and aligned with who you truly are.
