Accepting new clients! If you grew up with emotionally unhealthy parents, experienced trauma, or abuse, you might know you need therapy but feel afraid of taking that first step. Starting therapy can feel scary and uncertain. You might not be sure if you will be able to open up and receive the help you need.

I also offer much support to parents who may be frustrated with their attempts at connecting with their kids and who are in need of guidance relating to discipline techniques and behavior management.

You feel the burden of a space between where you are and where you want to be. Stress as the list of things to do grows, worry as new uncharted territories lie ahead.

Healing is a personal journey! It takes a lot of courage to discuss yourself and your fears. But everyone is totally capable of doing so. I am very adamant about effective communication and helping others find their happiness. As we navigate through our lives, we all hit some tough spots and may have a lot of unanswered questions. My goal is for everyone to leave the session feeling heard.
