I provide support for teens, young adults and adults experiencing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity stressors, racial/cultural oppression, women's issues, relationship stress, perinatal mental health (infertility, pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, and birth trauma).
You often find yourself feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, shutting down, or becoming defensive due to stress and anxiety. Juggling multiple responsibilities has you feeling as though you can't catch a break. Maybe you've been giving so much of yourself to others that you have nothing left for you. You're feeling exhausted from worrying so much about different things. Maybe you haven't been able to shake the "baby blues." You have reached a point where you want to feel in control of your life. Therapy offers a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these experiences.

Building a therapeutic relationship with the client is key to being effective in meeting the client's needs. Please note that I specialize in substance use and for me to see you there must be a primary diagnosis of substance use.
