I specialize in depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. But that also means I specialize in self esteem. If your sense of self is injured, you may not feel worthy of the kind of life you long to live.

Just finding your path can seem impossible. Believe me, you're not alone. Lots of people, of all ages, are facing problems that seem impossible to solve. But therapy can help you find direction, and solutions that feel right to you. Let's talk?

You're exhausted, both physically and emotionally. From an early age, you've learned to work hard and keep going, no matter what. And while you’re proud of your hard-earned accomplishments, you’re also stressed out and overwhelmed by work, family, and the pressure to find that elusive "balance." You're looking for a safe space to set everything down and take some time to sort through these layers. You deserve to embrace all aspects of yourself, not just the part of you that achieve and perform.
