You deserve a supportive, genuine connection built on trust and respect. This is a place where your authenticity and vulnerability are deeply valued—because I believe they are the keys to a strong healing foundation. My approach is rooted in seeing you as a unique individual with the inherent potential for growth and well-being. At Ensō Mental Health, we offer compassionate and competent mental health care in an environment that is just as healthy for our staff as it is for you, our client! We practice what we teach, and we want to teach you to live your best life.
I have worked in community mental health and school settings throughout my degree and career, which includes work with severe emotional and behavioral issues, parenting and family counseling and play therapy. I have special interests in working with children & families, as well as perinatal & postpartum mental health concerns.
Ready to take the first step? Call or email today, and a Client Care Coordinator will reach out to answer all of your questions and get you scheduled. We are a group practice and can connect you quickly with a therapist, often getting you in within 7-14 days, which is much sooner than most practices! You won't be put on a waitlist with Ensō Mental Health!
