If you're feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or just that life isn't what you think it should be, let's talk. I'm a good listener, I've had great training, and together, we can get you from where you are to where you'd like to be. I use a variety of approaches, depending on the needs of my clients, and we will determine an agreed upon treatment plan so that you know what the goals are.

Starting therapy is not an easy decision. Many of us are grappling with the many challenges that life throws our way, and for the most part, we can navigate through it until one day we realize it’s just too much. I’m here to say, you’re not alone. I understand how overwhelming, scary, and intimidating it can be to search for a therapist...especially when you’re at your lowest point. I'm here to tell you that light and refuge are on the other side.
