Waitlist for new clients
You’re the one people go to for support because you seem like you have it all together. Underneath, however, is a different story. You’re barely hanging on. Everyday stressors are overwhelming you. Feeling depressed, hopeless, and anxious are your new norms. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin and use substances or restrictions as a way to cope. You may feel fearful and stuck because of a traumatic experience. Humans are naturally resilient, but in an attempt to adapt we can fall into unhealthy cycles that keep us from realizing our potential.
We aren’t always equipped with the necessary skills to navigate life’s challenges. Through a trauma-informed, skills-focused approach, we will identify your individual goals and build upon your strengths. Drawing on CBT, DBT and EMDR to heal the impact of your trauma, I can help you gain control of distressing emotions and move forward.
Change is attainable. I provide a safe and validating space to learn healthy skills and experience healing. In addition, I work with a wonderful team of professionals that offer medication management, Spravato esketamine treatment to patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression, and TMS for those struggling with depression, OCD, and more.
