Hey, Creatives! In 10 years, how do you want your life to be different? Its time to get serious about taking back control over your time, your relationships, and your emotions. You don't deserve to be always overwhelmed, always behind, and always second best. You're NOT wrong or broken, but you may need to set some boundaries, to talk through some difficult events, to get organized, and/or to figure out what you want to happen next. You don't have to let worried or depressed feelings keep you from having a fulfilling and productive life. You can find a way to release the art inside you. Try therapy with me.

Throughout my 25 years as a therapist, I have focused on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and oppositional/defiance. Many of my clients also describe themselves as Neurodivergent. No matter what the issues may be, I find that people often start therapy because they feel stuck and are seeking ways to move forward. We work together to develop concrete goals such as making a new friend or just getting out of bed everyday. Other clients in my practice are searching for a safe place to work through their pain. Whatever your starting place, you are welcome here.
