I specialize in the mental health of adult women. 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. Others feel haunted by a frightening or confusing experience from the past. You feel stressed, depressed, or ashamed and you see the effect on your behavior, work, and relationships. To schedule, please EMAIL for quickest response.
