Chances are, at this time, when you are seeking therapy, you might be feeling alone, worried, and scared. The truth is that you are never alone; help and support are always available. Shining your light in times of darkness is possible and can be met with new hope and exciting beginnings! My focus with clients is on healing rather than treatment. I am committed to providing quality, affordable psychotherapy for everyone and am proudly associated with Axis Mundi Center for Mental Health to help accomplish my mission. (axismundicenter.org)
I'm passionate about working with individuals and couples working toward deconstructing and rebuilding their paths back to self and joining with others as healthy, whole, and authentic beings. I specialize in helping people heal from Attachment Trauma, Low Self-Esteem & Toxic Shame, Sex and Love Addiction, and (unhealthy) Codependent Relationships.
I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation via telehealth to help you determine if I can help provide the support you may need now. I appreciate your consideration, and I am happy you are taking the steps toward a better way of life.
