Evening and weekend telehealth appointments available! Warm, compassionate, empathetic, non-judgmental, caring and kind... These are words that past clients have used to describe my personality and approach. I approach every client with universal acceptance and non-judgment. I believe you deserve to live your life the way you choose. People come to therapy for many different reasons with all kinds of goals. I would love to help you get to where you want to be! I’m in-network with a large variety of insurances to meet your needs.
If you feel sad, anxious, stuck, lack meaning or direction, I can help! I can assist with interpersonal conflicts and relationship stress. I help families and children dealing with divorce and family issues. I help adults with ADHD, and I am a certified Grief Counselor. I also help couples who are struggling to connect/reconnect.
Life sure can be a big struggle. Let me help you deal with what is thrown at you and turn life into what YOU want it to be! Kindness, compassion, empathy and acceptance are my biggest strengths as a therapist and I would be honored to share that with you. I can be your friendly face and help you change the path you’re currently taking
