With over 15 years of experience in Behavioral Health, I pride myself on being able to engage , provide a non-judgmental space and show my genuine investment in your wellness. Can you really Feel Better, Think Better, and Sleep Better by taking the time to talk to someone and process your thoughts and feelings? Well... The short answer is YES! Yes you can gain peace of mind participating in individual therapy. Learn to cope, manage your emotions and develop positive ways to respond to negative emotions. - I work constantly to break the stigma surrounding Mental Health. I don’t believe in crazy, I believe there is rhyme and reason behind everything. Mental health doesn’t have to be scary, it doesn’t have to be shameful, it doesn’t have to be a life sentence of turmoil; there is relief. - Combat the thought " I’m not talking to anyone about my problems" and allow yourself an opportunity to take some weight off your shoulders. Give yourself an opportunity to gain another perspective and an opportunity for validation. I look forward to working with you * Confidential * Safe * Licensed Professional
