Since 2008, I've worked in both non-profit community mental health and very much for-profit private practice, which means I've gotten to work with all kinds of clients from different backgrounds and age groups to help address a remarkably broad spectrum of problems and concerns. Most of my work has been, and will continue to be, with young people- and while I've certainly loved every other minute of that, I am always eager (and occasionally desperate) to talk to another adult. My goal is for my clients to feel as comfortable and understood as possible, as soon as possible. From there, we can get to work.

Do you long to lead a life where you value yourself as much as you do others? Do you wish you knew how to nurture your emotions, allowing your heart to feel at ease?

It is difficult to navigate the things that life throws at us. We can easily feel alone and very overwhelmed amongst all the chaos and stress.
