If you're looking for a place where you can explore your struggles, find safety, and learn ways of moving forward. You have found the right place. When I work with clients I look to help them determine what is best for them in their situation. I believe that there are many forces today that seek to keep us disconnected from ourselves and from safe communities. I think therapy is one aspect of creating a safe community that can help us get reconnected and remind us of what brings joy and meaning to our lives.
I work well with people having difficulty with mood disorders and trauma. I also have extensive experience with people in the LGBTQ+ community.
Interested to see if we are a fit. Don't hesitate to call. Check out our Website to see more of our clinicians. Feel free to reach out to inquire.
