Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve the same wellness and care that you extend to others. Most of my clients come to me seeking help with anxiety, depression, and perinatal mental health. I love and have a wealth of experience working with individuals and families and building relationships. In my own journey to healing, I have had to learn to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and postpartum stress and anxiety. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and to want someone to see and care for you in a way that feels genuine. I have been working in the helping profession for 20 years in various settings from private practice, non-profit, hospital, educational and street outreach settings. I have helped clients from childhood to the elderly who have suffered from housing and food insecurity to the most affluent. My goal is to meet you where you are and to partner with you to decrease your suffering no matter where you are in your life stage. We all deserve wellness.
