UPDATE: I have room for 2-3 new clients that can pay out of pocket (I hate writing this, but it's the reality for therapists in the world of managed care).However, I am also diversifying my career and and am open to many clients as a trauma writing mentor/editor and more. Writing through healing is at least of equal value to psychotherapy.

Labeling emotions is challenging; if you often find yourself stuck, confused, perhaps avoidant, experiencing isolation, racing thoughts, ruminating, withdrawn these are symptoms or perhaps warning signs regarding underlying mental health issues. It’s exhausting and finding a moment of silence from your thoughts or peace seems never-ending. I believe together, we can work through it! I enjoy meeting with adults, teens, and families, homing in on your background to identify your current problems and goals.
