Congratulations to you for taking this first step. I know this isn't the most exciting thing you could be doing, scanning through therapist after therapist, and finding the "perfect fit" is hard. If you're looking for somebody to make you feel like yourself again, or maybe a new version of yourself, you've found her. Whether it be working through depression & anxiety, healing from your past or simply those overwhelming running thoughts that don't seem to stop, I can do my best to help, and if your lucky, maybe share a few laughs along the way too.

I have experience working with individuals throughout their lifespan, and specialize in working with children and adolescents.
Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.
