🫶🌿🌹
Welcome!!
Are you ready to feel different?
The RIGHT therapist can change your life!

I can provide a safe place to explore your innermost thoughts and help you cope with the emotions that can feel overwhelming.

I provide insight oriented talk therapy with a focus on nervous system regulation.

What does that mean? It means I strive to help you heal through insights that we learn TOGETHER, and I teach you about your nervous system and how to regain control of the emotions that threaten to take over.

Most of my practice is young adult/college age individuals and I help people with depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, relationship difficulties, skill building, assertiveness, improving communication and emotional intelligence.

I've spent many years working with crisis clients in an emergency department setting and have experience with clients in crisis, self injury, bipolar disorder and suicidal thoughts.

Today CAN be better than yesterday but the first step is to GET CONNECTED!
