In a world filled with uncertainty and constant change, we often struggle to find peace and stability. Having a refuge to depend on is one way we can feel some sense of relief. I believe that the process of healing is not meant to be easy, and encourage clients to ease out of their comfort zone with the help of a guide.
I work with individuals of all ages, but my concentration is young adults who are undergoing a significant life transition. I have experience treating substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and children with disabilities.
Whether you have a specific goal in mind, simply want someone to talk to, or don't know where to begin, I am happy to guide you through the treatment process.
