Do you find yourself holding back, unsure where to turn with your thoughts and emotions? Many adults I work with feel like they don’t have a safe place to share their anxiety, feelings or depression. Often, they’ve spent a long time avoiding emotions because they don’t know what to do with them. Together, we can explore those feelings in a compassionate and non-judgmental space, allowing you to make sense of your inner world and find a path forward.

As a mother of two children myself, I understand the barriers and fears that parents can face before, during, and after seeking treatment for their kids.
