Everyone deserves access to quality mental health services. Mental health is just as important as physical health, but it can be difficult to reach out for help. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, difficulties in relationships, or grief, make the call or even send a text.

We all tend to seek help when what we are doing is no longer working, or we feel stuck , dissatisfied or our life is out of control, or someone we care about says that we should get help. I view these pivotal moments as potential moments of alchemy, if we are willing to be mindful with what is, staying with our experience and working through it. Remaining mindFUL allows the experience to teach us what we are supposed to learn, if we are open to it. I am here to support you as you go through your journey, face your challenges, identify patterns with you that keep you feel stuck so that you can be more free to be your best self.
