People reach out to me with a variety of concerns including anxiety, attention difficulty, depression, sleep trouble, grief, relationship issues, sexual identity, self-esteem, life transitions and so much more. Whether a teenager, young adult, middle-aged or older, my clients are looking for help to overcome personal struggles and to achieve their optimal potential for mental, emotional, and physical health.
I enjoy getting to know my patients and learning what is important to them. With almost 20 years of experience in health care, I've found that this is the best way for me to help my clients achieve their goals. For many patients, this is accomplished with a combination of therapy and medication, when appropriate.
Opening up to a stranger about your concerns and personal issues can feel very uncomfortable! I pride myself on providing a safe space for people, where a mutual trust can grow. If you're considering seeking care, I encourage you to take that first brave step and reach out. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

Medication management combined with therapy. Initial appointments are usually about 50 minutes and then follow up appointments are on a monthly basis at first and last about 15-25 minutes. Once a client is "stable," appointments can be as few as 4 per year. This is a decision we will make together to find what works best for you.
