Experiencing anxiety can feel isolating, even when surrounded by caring people. You're wearing a smile on the outside; but on the inside, you feel overwhelmed. You worry that your stress is impacting those you love. You've tried different strategies to reduce it. They aren't helping. Deep inside you know there's a better way to live, but you're not sure how to do it. The idea of going to therapy feels vulnerable, but you're willing to try it at this point. You just want to feel better.

You've been doing this by yourself long enough. Let me help you find coping tools. You deserve a warm & non-judgmental space to discuss your concerns. I offer many years of experience supporting overwhelmed individuals. I welcome diversity including all races, sexualities, genders, religions, body sizes and abilities.

Featuring a client portal which allows for ease of completing documentation and scheduling online. Ample free parking. I make the process of therapy easy to fit into your busy life. I invite you to email or call, so we can discuss your difficulties and determine if my approach is right for you.
