Are everyday struggles blocking you from being your ideal self? I am a therapist who will work in partnership with you to help find the balance, contentedness, and the fulfillment in life you deserve. I utilize a collaborative, empathetic approach while not shying away from occasionally challenging you in a way that respects you as an individual.
I have over 9 years of experience working with people dealing with depression, ADHD, career and life struggles, family conflicts, grief, focus issues, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and health related issues. I am also a trained EMDR clinician with the ability to utilize the practice in both in person and telehealth sessions
I acknowledge how difficult it can be to reach out for support initially. It takes courage in order to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. If you feel like reaching out to schedule an appointment and continue the journey do not hesitate to email me to schedule a phone call consultation free of charge.
