The hardest step but the most impactful is reaching out for support. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for prioritizing your health and wellness. As a social worker with over ten years working within the field of mental health, it's hard to ignore the one commonality- Trauma. Whether this is uncovered yet or not, everyone has a story, and sometimes those unprocessed memories or emotions have a way of getting stuck which can shape the way we currently cope. My areas of expertise are mental health, self-worth, grief/ loss, compassion fatigue and overall trauma.

Feeling overwhelmed? Wondering if it ever gets any easier? Struggling with boundaries in your personal or work life. Challenging parental relationships, family conflict and estrangement and can leave you wondering who you really are. You might be experiencing the grief or loss of a person or a relationship. Adult diagnosis of ADHD or other neurodivergence can bring heavy emotions and frustration. What if we could move at your pace to uncover root causes of your current pain and return to wholeness? Having begun my own healing therapy journey years ago, and a recent ADHD diagnosis, I appreciate what it feels like to be understood.

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, OCD, psychosis, children's therapy, and complete couples therapy.
Therapy is a place where you can come as you are. I like to think of therapy as a conversation. Think about that for a second. You have conversations daily with friends, and family members. Therapy is just an extension of that conversation. You can vent with friends, and with family, but a conversation with a therapist allows you to become unstuck from the cycle you may be in where you are venting, but not actually making any progress. Therapy really is for everyone. Whether you have long standing concerns, are in a crisis, or need to work through a problem right now, we are here to help.
