Introduction

I am happy you are here. If your life feels unmanageable, it is okay to ask for help. I encourage you to take that first step, because you deserve a life free of the emotional pain caused by trauma, depression and anxiety. As a therapist, I have helped individuals, children, teens and families find healing and understanding. I have considerable experience working with teens and families, particularly during crisis situations, and feel privileged supporting them during challenging situations. I have experience and specialized training in trauma treatment including helping those who struggle with addiction. It can feel overwhelming, but you can recover from what has happened to you and find wellness where you are now. I look forward to hearing how I can support you. I am accepting new clients with availability during daytime, evening and weekend hours.
