I offer mental healthcare for women and their loved ones, encompassing a more holistic, and I believe, warmer approach to emotional health treatment.
I believe that the most effective mental health support evolves from understanding all facets of a person’s life including the nuances of their relationships, health concerns, work-life balance, and life stressors, among a myriad of others. Treatment should be a collaborative process and should include a variety of integrated approaches.
