I get it. Life can have some tough moments that make us realize we can't do it alone. I'm here to help you make sense of the messy, the frustrating, and the hurt. I am committed to working with you to bring light into the dark parts, understanding to the confusion, and hope to the hurt. Whether for yourself or your child, let me help you build the skills to exhale a little easier.
I am a seasoned registered nurse psychotherapist with expertise in child/adolescent and adult mental health. I practice with a trauma informed lens to build on the strengths you already have. I use evidence based therapeutic strategies to build the skills needed to help you get through the tough.
It takes courage and strength to recognize "I can't do this alone." I know you are already doing the tough stuff to keep it together, and I can imagine how tired you are, fighting alone can be so exhausting. Let me share, you are not alone and you can do the tough stuff. I will be in your corner supporting you every step of the way. Let's do this together
