I have availability- and I’d be glad to help you navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, Long Covid, chronic pain or illness. It’s time you reach out for help. Pain is inevitable- suffering is optional. I help people with managing tough times or getting life on track. I provide a free consultation - so what is there to lose?
I have availability in my schedule. I am practical, understanding & non-judgmental. I approach therapy the way I’d like to be treated. Problems like ADHD & life transitions respond to a practical approach. I use DBT, ACT and mindfulness skills training. I listen, support, & motivate you towards your goals. I hope you’ll get in touch because I can help.
I’m the therapist I wanted when I was at my lowest point. I offer real life problem-solving support in an approachable way. Virtual visits are convenient & easy. Travel time & waiting rooms are eliminated. I know what it’s like to struggle daily & want to help you learn skills for emotional regulation & self-care that will help.
