I love working with folks who are feeling stuck, struggling in relationships, feeling hurt or let down by others. Many of us have been impacted by generations of unaddressed mental health, addictions, abuse, poverty, or other struggles. The state of the world can be completely overwhelming. There is so much that can be done in therapy to reduce the grip of those experiences. We can work together so you can feel more content with yourself, and better able to manage the challenges that come with living in the world today.
I have been practicing as a therapist since 2009 and I love it. The learning never ends and I am always hungry for new skills to help you. There are so many ways to help you feel better. One of my favorites is EMDR. EMDR can help shift the way you view yourself and your experiences, so that you feel better. Let’s work together to see what fits best.
It can be overwhelming or scary when you suddenly reach the point of realizing help is needed. Or maybe you even feel a little excited now that you have committed to yourself. Seizing the moment is important, but so is finding a good fit to make it worth your time and money. Let’s connect and see what we can do together. (Email preferred)

Good job on making the choice to invest in your well-being. I have been doing this work for a long time and have invested a lot in my skillset. This work is valuable. For many reasons, I no longer am in network with insurance. I can help with out-of-network reimbursement. I accept HSA and FSA funds.
