If you’re noticing a decline in your ability to navigate work, relationships, school, or everyday life, you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally overwhelmed—struggling with anxiety, deep sadness, anger, hopelessness, or a growing sense of disconnection from others. You may find yourself withdrawing from relationships or losing interest in things that once mattered to you.

I understand how challenging and discouraging this can feel. At Light the Way Counseling Center, I provide therapy in a safe, empathetic, and compassionate environment, where you are respected, heard, and supported as you work toward meaningful change..
