My clients are intelligent, usually sensitive people, many are young adults and parents. They live with anxiety, depression, chronic conditions or trauma. Their task is to create a thoughtful, sustainable, life-balance - My work is helping achieve it, however they imagine it.
I aim to return your inquiry by the next business day. Text is most expedient. I am only accepting clients for daytime appointments Monday-Friday before 5pm. Frequently my schedule is full, so check my website for other trustworthy and wonderful clinicians who might be a good fit for you.
