Darnell Whittaker
Student Practicum
If you find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to manage anxiety, low mood, or focus, you are not alone. Many people are trying to keep up with daily responsibilities while quietly feeling stuck, exhausted, or frustrated with themselves.
Therapy can help you better understand these patterns and build strategies that actually work in your day-to-day life.
