So many people feel misunderstood, isolated, afraid, angry, or depressed. Many have experienced things that cause them pain or deep confusion. I believe that providing a comfortable, nonjudgmental place can be the beginning of relief from this pain. I also believe it can be important to go beyond this and provide specialized treatment that addresses my clients' unique needs. I have worked for several years with adolescents, men, and others who oftentimes do not feel heard. I see change happen everyday; if it might be time for change or healing in your life contact me and let's get started.

Are you struggling on the path to parenthood? I am currently scheduling new patients for support with maternal or paternal mental health challenges, including Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or Depression during the perinatal or postpartum period. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the painful thoughts running through their minds all day. Perhaps it is an unrelenting self critic who never lets you feel good enough. Or a list of anxious “what if’s” that keeps you awake at night, preparing for the worst. For some, it is scary, shameful thoughts that come out of nowhere.
