Working with diverse communities in the Rivertowns, women, couples, students and people of all ages are my specialties.

Anxiety, depression, anger, insecurities, and trauma can make even our simplest daily routine seem daunting and prevent us from living a full, happy life.

Therapy can provide you with the support and tools you need to overcome challenges in these areas and live your life to your full potential.
