Have you noticed your thoughts keeping you awake at night? Sometimes find it impossible to get up the next morning? You're not alone. Notice the advice to 'sleep when the baby sleeps' doesn't work for you? I understand. And if you find yourself torn between wanting to stay informed on everything that's going on in the world while also maintaining some semblance of joy and distraction, I'd love to help you find that balance.

I have worked with clients managing anxiety and stress; depression symptoms and causes; traumatic events; difficulties focusing/attention issues; pregnancy and childbirth anxieties; parenting concerns; relationship problems; grief and loss; chronic illness/pain; and work-related stressors. Together we'll use various methods and tools to address your needs.

I'm here to offer you a welcoming, non-judgmental space to discuss what matters most to you. Regardless of what you are struggling with, I'd love to connect and provide you with support. Therapy is an opportunity to explore your concerns, and have your needs addressed and met. Let's work together on a plan to do just that.

My work with individuals often connects to their relationships and family connections. We can take some time to explore your supports, and the dynamics that may be causing stressors for you. In doing so, we can figure out what impacts you most, and the best ways to address the thoughts that come with these concerns.
