All of us come to a fork in the road in life. You may feel there is no hope. You may feel alone and misunderstood. Maybe you have traveled this path before. You wonder if it is just you that has these problems. Whatever brings you here I am so glad you did not give up. Life does not have easy answers but with the right support and unwavering advocate in your corner it can be more manageable. I have been licensed and practicing for nearly 20 years. I am an LGBTQ affirming, anti-racist ally and trauma sensitive provider.
I am certified to treat insomnia, PTSD, Depressive Disorders, grief and women's mental health. My specialty is HRV Biofeedback which is a somatic therapy so you can get back in balance when your nervous system and emotional center is blocked.
Please contact me today for a consultation to consider your next steps.
