"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" Maya Angelou. Words have power, words build the world around us, your story has power. As a clinician I do not just treat depression, anxiety, trauma etc. I treat the person experiencing the symptoms of those diagnoses. I want to know your story, to help you regain control of your story, & help you write the next chapters of your life with joy instead of fear, frustration, or negativity. Trauma is my specialty, however I treat most mental health disorders - particularly depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, aging related disorders, & family therapy.
Life rarely goes exactly as planned. This is true for most humans. Asking for help can be daunting but, please understand reaching out for help is a strength. It takes bravery beyond what most assume, to tackle the barriers within your mind and life. I would love to be the one who guides you over or through those barriers. Text or call to take the first step
My specialty is treating trauma, and trauma informed care; too often those who have experienced trauma in their life have been ignored, or not received the care they needed because of multiple barriers. I want to help you break those barriers. Tell me your story.
