Accepting New Clients! Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and is it negatively impacting all areas of your life? Maybe you have tried getting help but were left unsatisfied and discouraged. It can be different. I treat all age groups navigating complex issues such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, Bipolar and ADHD. I offer comprehensive mental and behavioral healthcare options including evidenced based medication management along with homeopathic options to best meet your unique needs. My goal is to Listen TO YOU , present you with options and ultimately support YOUR journey to wellbeing.

We offer appointments within a week and allow for same day emergency appointments. At ECC we believe you should be able to reach your provider if needed and waiting 3 months for an appointment is unacceptable! We believe in quality not quantity and will be there with you to answer any questions you may have about your care. You are not alone at ECC.

Are you ready to figure this out and see who you can be when depression and anxiety aren't in control? Life challenges are plenty, home life, work, children, relationships, Covid the list is endless but if you have the right tools it makes all the difference! Isn't it time you put yourself first? Together we can figure it out, help is right here.
