You've been struggling and feel like no one sees you, understand you, or can help. You might be burnt out, anxious, depressed and stretched too thin. You just wish that for once you could be on the receiving end of the care and compassion you're giving so readily to others. I know what that's like and that's why I want to offer you the space to be seen and heard.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with years of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting issues, toxic relationships and other life struggles. I offer practical tools to help you cope with what you're experiencing and a space to be supported as you make changes.
Please reach out to me through email, phone call or through my website to request a 15 minute conversation. Whatever makes you comfortable, let's connect and see if we're a good fit. You aren't alone. We'll figure out together how to get you back to the place you want to be.
