It takes a lot of courage to look for help, and I’m glad you’re here. You may be feeling alone and like no one understands what you are going through. Perhaps you are feeling scared about coming into therapy because you're not sure where to start. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, an eating disorder, or problems with your relationships. Perhaps you have had painful experiences in the past that continue to impact you today. Whenever we come to that vulnerable place of asking for help, we want to know we will be understood and heard. That's where I come in.
