Full Stride Counseling, LLC

We are wired for connection...yet our relationships with ourselves, our families, and others can become complicated, painful, or confusing. Loss and significant life changes can unsettle our sense of identity, relationships, and expectations for the future. Sometimes we know exactly what has changed; other times, we simply know that something no longer feels right. I work with teens through adults navigating grief and loss, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, identity, and significant life transitions. For teens and young adults, these years can bring questions about who you are, where you belong, and how to navigate growing independence alongside academic, social, and family pressures. I have a particular interest in working with students from independent and single-sex schools and, having attended these schools myself, bring a firsthand understanding of their culture, expectations, and unique pressures. For adults, much of my work centers on grief, caregiving, changing relationships and family roles, identity, and the transitions we encounter throughout life. These periods of change often bring earlier experiences and patterns back to the surface—and raise questions about what we want to carry forward and what we may be ready to leave behind. My background in trauma counseling informs how I understand the ways earlier experiences and relationships can resurface during periods of stress, loss, and change. I offer a steady, collaborative space to slow things down and look closely at what isn’t working. Together, we explore patterns, boundaries, relationships, and identity while working toward changes that feel meaningful and sustainable in your real life. Insight is important, but we don’t stop there. I draw from attachment-informed approaches, CBT, mindfulness, and family systems, adapting our work to who you are and what you need rather than expecting you to fit a particular therapeutic model. If you’re considering therapy, I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to connect, talk a little about what brings you here, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
