Being human isn't easy. Sometimes it's hard to make sense of it all and keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you find you are struggling to experience the joy you once had, you aren't alone. Cultivating and maintaining healthy behaviors and relationships, managing unhelpful thoughts and keeping anxiety from running the show are all achievable. You don't have to white knuckle your way through this alone.
Your story is important. I'll do a full assessment of where you are now and what you've tried in the past. Together we will create a plan for helping you feel better tapping into your strengths. Whether are seeking therapy or considering medication options, I'm here to support you.
You have the power to create the change you are seeking.
