You shouldn't have to struggle to get through the day nor should you have to settle for just feeling "OK". I believe that cultivating harmony between the mind, body, and spirit is what allows us to become our best selves, cope well during difficult times, and live the lives we truly deserve. I've found this can be achieved through a mix of psychotherapy, good nutrition and sleep hygiene, physical exercise, discovering what brings us joy, community collaboration, and medication management when appropriate. Ultimately, I believe in a holistic & individualized approach, and if you think we may be a good fit, please reach out!
I often work with children, adolescents, and adults who have anxiety and depression resulting from past trauma. In addition to PTSD, I treat various conditions including ADHD, autism (ASD), bipolar 2 disorder, OCD, and other mood and anxiety disorders. I also have specialized training in providing evals and follow-up for ketamine assisted psychotherapy.
I have been lucky enough to learn from some amazing mentors and colleagues, but it's the time with my clients that inspires my professional growth and desire to give the best care possible. If you are struggling and ready to feel better, I urge you to reach out. Email is fastest way to reach me. Please also check your spam or junk mail for my reply.
