Navigating mental health can be a daunting journey for many individuals. A significant hurdle encountered when seeking support is the stigma associated with mental health.

I work alongside individuals to assist them with trauma, grief and loss, illness, life transitions, depression, anxiety, fertility, family building, adoption, and third party reproduction.
If you are considering therapy, you have taken the first step toward making a positive change. It takes courage to seek support and talking with someone can help. When we experience painful events, feel our life’s plan has been taken out of our control, and experience disconnect in our relationships, we can feel hopeless, alone and lost. I believe that, through life’s challenges, we can learn how truly strong we are.
