While life contains many moments of happiness and laughter, it also unfortunately delivers many stressful and overwhelming experiences. When these situations arise, we often feel isolated, distracted, and flooded with anxiety and depression. We may talk to our friends and family for help and ideas; however, sometimes having a caring and supportive therapist can be tremendously beneficial. Sometimes, we need to vent in privacy. Sometimes, we need to process emotional events that have happened and very personal memories from our past.

**Currently full- waitlist available** We can all relate to feeling like something is off with our life at some-point. Sometimes we feel like getting through the day is nearly impossible. It can feel isolating to experience depression, anxiety, grief, questioning identity or uncertainty with your sense of self. Sometimes we feel our emotions and/or experiences are too big for others. We often keep our pain to ourselves fearing others wont know what to say or do with it. Sometimes we disconnect from ourselves just to survive. However, this doesn't have to be the case.

Welcome! I am a licensed Holistic Counselor who has years of experience in the field.

I believe that I am not much different from many of the clinicians working for GENNEW, providing outpatient therapy services. I like to work with clients from all different backgrounds. I believe that I work well with both anxiety and depression, but especially dealing with those who want to understand themselves better. The clients that will have the greatest benefit in working with me have an internal desire for change and are ready to do the work. This doesn't mean that I don't have patience, but I have found that those who come geared for change seem to attain it in less time.
