We all have anxieties. We have defenses against hurt that we build up over time, that become solidified into unproductive patterns of behavior and prevent us from living our best lives. We all, from time to time, lose connection with ourselves and those around us, as we try and do the million things that daily life demands of us. It’s okay. You’re not alone.

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming. I understand. Yes, it is a leap of faith. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, in pain or numb or would proactively like to address specific concerns. If you are considering therapy for a one time consult, a few visits to address a recent crisis or would like to engage in ongoing therapy, I hope we can work together safely and productively to meet your therapy needs and goals. I collaborate and consult actively with other clinicians for care coordination, medication management or behavioral care as needed.
