You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body and emotions. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction may be affecting daily life, while stress shows up as tension, fatigue, or emotional burnout. You may be seeking support for yourself or your child (ages 5 and up) and want tools to manage stress, build resilience, and feel more balanced. You’re looking for therapy that understands the mind–body connection—because stress doesn’t just live in your head.
I provide therapy for children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and addiction. As a Mental Health Counselor with a background in massage therapy, I take a mind–body approach—helping calm both racing thoughts and tense shoulders.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or intimidating. I offer a safe, judgment-free space with warmth, honesty, and a touch of humor—where you can vent, laugh, cry, or all three (sometimes in the same session). Together, we’ll build practical tools, resilience, and help you reconnect with balance and inner strength.
