Have the events of your life or the world around you got you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed? Is your inner critic getting louder? Are you finding yourself numbing out with food, alcohol, shopping or streaming? Are you longing for meaningful connection? You are not alone. Perhaps I can help. I am a BIPOC, LGBTQI+, and Disability affirming therapist. I offer brief, standard, and extended session lengths. I welcome an opportunity to collaborate with you as you bravely or not so bravely make your way in this world of ours. Questions? Please call or email. It's okay to reach out and ask for help.
I provide a safe place and empathetic ear for you to explore yourself. I work with teens, adults, couples, families, & groups around life transitions and stressors. My areas of expertise include: grief & loss, trauma & PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image, disordered and emotional eating, eating disorders, and addiction. I am EMDR trained.
Helping someone else in need often seems like second nature. Asking for help yourself? Not so much. Guess what - you just took that first step toward yourself. I hope the next step - reaching out to me or another therapist - seems more doable. Finding the right therapist for you is key. Take a chance - call or email someone today.
