My treatment experience includes classic teen issues, perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief and loss, insomnia, adjustment to life changes, self harm, attentional deficits, learning challenges and trauma histories. My hope is to create a warm environment to help my clients build on their strengths, and empower change and forward movement in life.

Taking the first step may be the hardest, but you’ll feel so much better when you do. And I’m here to help! I am a dedicated, experienced therapist who is passionate about my work.
