On the outside you're trying to keep it all together. On the inside you're falling apart. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, and everything is a struggle. No matter what you do it's never good enough. You're tired of feeling tired and ready for change. I specialize in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. This may show up in your life as low self-esteem, difficulty staying motivated, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions. You've taken a big step in looking for help. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important part.

I'm passionate about creating a genuine and accepting environment. We'll interact, connect, and do this work together in a judgement free space. I enjoy my clients and get excited when I see them start to see themselves as the strong, resilient, capable people that they are.
Every individual is different. My goal as a therapist is the meet the client where they are at and collaborate on goals for their life. I'd love to hear your story. Let's chat about how I may be able to help you reach your goals.
