If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or struggling with persistent sadness, therapy is a safe place to share and explore current challenges you are facing in your life: stress, anxiety, relationship issues, breaking generational cycles as a parent or unresolved past trauma. I will support and guide you in the therapeutic process to foster your healing and growth. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience who is most comfortable and experienced with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transition/parenting concerns, PTSD and substance use issues. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with EMDR to meet you where you are at, managing present day chaos while healing deeper past wounds as you are ready. I love working with clients from all backgrounds and ages. I also am sex-positive and enjoy working within/as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. Going to therapy for the first time can be intimidating! You can reach out to me for a 5-10 minute phone consultation to understand the process more and make sure we are a good fit.
