The hardest mountain to climb is the one within, what does your mountain look like? Each person's healing journey to the top of their mountain, no matter how small or fraught with twists and turns, is important and deserves a safe, authentic space to be heard.

Healing also takes a supportive and empathetic shoulder to help carry the burden as you reach your goals. I would be honored to help you discover your confidence, values, truths, and ultimately, summit your mountain.

Therapy offers a space where you are valued, heard, and respected.

TELE-PSYCH only.. Prior to private practice I was providing emergency mental health treatment to clients who were suicidal, homicidal, psychotic or otherwise in crisis. I have experience working with adults of all ages, from adult teens to seniors. I currently see a range of clients, some who are just out of the hospital after a crisis, some who are seriously depressed and seeking to regain their footing without hospitalization, and others struggling with milder depression, anxiety, or self-esteem issues, or needing support through a life crisis. These clients progress through their issues from week to week.
