Hello and thank you for taking a minute to see if we would be a good fit. I realize finding a therapist can be a daunting task. You have taken the first step which can often be the hardest. If you have been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from others recently, know you are not alone. Therapy can provide a safe space to process current or past situations or emotions that may be negatively affecting your day to day. Whether you are looking to address a specific event, trauma, relationship, emotion, or symptom; let's talk further.
Therapy is a space where I help you to process feelings and situations using a supportive, collaborative, trauma-informed and mindfulness-based foundation that allows you to build resilience, heal, and thrive. You are in control of the process.
With positive support you can gain confidence in yourself. Sessions are either in-person or via telehealth. Please reach out via phone or email to set a time to discuss your specific needs. If I am not the right fit, I can help guide you to a referral for a provider who may be a right for you.
