Do you have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships? Are you anxious or depressed? Are you having difficulty connecting with others? I am here to support you in expressing your feelings, acknowledging your lived experiences, and navigating relationships.
I work with adults who are seeking help due to difficulties in relationships, symptoms of anxiety or depression, or who have experienced or continue to experience trauma. I offer individual therapy to support you in creating change and building more supportive relationships.
Have questions or want to see if we might be a good fit? Feel free to reach out to me via phone or email.
