Life can be painful, and at times we can find ourselves confused, lost, anxious, or seemingly alone. We cannot have a pain-free life, but there are ways of managing the issues in our lives that help us be more present, connected to our values, and fulfilled in that which we do. Whether it is anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, there are ways to respond to these so that we can move back toward the lives that we want to lead.
My primary role is directing a college mental health clinic. I also have a generalist background from my training in hospital and various outpatient settings, with particular expertise in anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic pain. I also specialize in developmental issues of adolescence and young adulthood, as well as couples and parents.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, a family member, or your relationship, I highly recommend shopping around to make sure you find the right fit. Feel free to give me a call. You can learn more about the practice that I have, and I can hear a bit about your story. We can then schedule an appointment and see if it is the right fit.
