I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether your story involves moments of anxiety, grief, depression, or other plot twists I am here to help you get through challenging times. Your story is important and deserves to be nurtured and understood. We will explore circumstances that cause these feelings to become an obstacle within your everyday life.

With a collaborative approach, we will be able to set obtainable goals and transform you into being the hero within your own story by reviewing your past experiences and gaining an understanding of how these experiences can manifest in your current situation.
The obstacles that are a part of your story can be challenging, but with the right perspective and support, you will be able to get through them. Let me help you through your story. I offer in-office visits and telehealth. Call me to get started on your journey to becoming your own hero!
