Each of us are unique and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in our lives when we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situations to help us find ways to make positive change and move through these trying times. I see children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes and transitions, relationships, and grief. Sessions take place in a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental tele-health atmosphere.
