You're sick of waiting. It's time to treat your mental health as if it were a knife in your arm; you deserve immediate and careful attention. You need someone who will challenge and support you, someone who can share the load. You want to confront your issues head-on, knowing that it might not always be pretty. But you are worth it, whether you believe it or not. It is time to dive deep, prioritize your mental health, and find relief. Reclaim your voice, reclaim your body. If you're looking to get to work, look no further.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child may feel or actually be hard to navigate, and even anxiety producing for some. So many options and often little guidance on how to find the "right" person. I view therapy as a collaborative, relationship driven experience. I spend time getting to know and understand you and your unique history and experiences. And from there, together, we create a therapeutic space where you can feel at ease and safe to move toward deeper inner wisdom and a better quality of life.

Life brings challenges, transitions, and memories that can pull us away from the path we want to be on. Finding confidence and a true sense of self is a journey that requires space and time to process, yet it can be difficult to find a safe, judgment-free space for that kind of exploration. I'm here to offer that space, to listen and connect, and to support you in navigating those experiences that feel too heavy to carry alone. With time, trust, and a bit of hard work, the obstacles you face can begin to transform—not just into things to overcome, but into stepping stones toward the life you truly want.

To make this easier for you, I say- let's get to know each other. In an atmosphere of compassion and acceptance, we will talk about you and what brings you joy. Providing a safe and accepting environment where you can feel comfortable to speak freely and openly is of the utmost importance to me.
