I have a passion for helping others find healing and growth in their lives and in their relationships with others. I have 23 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have vast experience and training working with grief, loss, trauma and crisis issues. When people reach out for professional help, it is usually because something has changed, shifted, or a significant life event has occurred, and they want additional support or someone to talk to. When they come to therapy, I want my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and at ease.

In the past 5 years, we have seen much of the stigma around asking for help with mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression melt away. However, we have also seen a need for mental health services increase greatly, especially for children and adolescents after going through the pandemic and not being able to attend school to socialize in the way that they were used to doing for nearly 2 school years. More than ever, it is important to pay attention to early signs of depression, anxiety, anger, isolation, and other symptoms that may indicate that you or a loved one may need to seek treatment before things get worse.
