Services
-
You’re looking for a warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable therapist that can support you through the ups and downs, and all that’s in between. Things may feel confusing, overwhelming, and frustrating, as you are learning what works best for you, but it’s critical to feel heard and accepted. I want to help you create healthy routines and problem solve how you can still live a life that is fulfilling where you are not defined by your diagnosis.
-
You’re carrying a heavy load supporting your loved one navigating a crisis, hospitalization, or a chronic mental illness. You’ve been so focused on caring and advocating for them that you have not been able to care for yourself or maintain healthy boundaries on how much bandwidth you have. It feels lonely and helpless at times when there are so many barriers to getting adequate care for your loved one. I can help you lift the weight and feel supported and prioritized again.
-
You’re overworked, underpaid, unsupported, and unappreciated in your emotionally draining workplace, perhaps in a helping profession or high-performance role. You feel stuck and are having trouble achieving good work-life balance. Let’s change that! I can help you sort through how you want to move forward and work towards finding happiness and balance again.
-
Anxiety can feel scary, unmanageable, and like a never-ending cycle. You may be feeling anxious from daily demands, feel pressure from work or relationships, or struggle with constant worrying. I will help you prioritize which anxiety areas in your life to address first and explore ways to relax and give your thoughts and worries a break.
-
Depression can feel very isolating, hopeless, and lonely at times. You may have experienced a small or large event or life change, a series of small challenges adding up, or perhaps you have just been feeling down for no particular reason. I can help get you to a place where you feel lighter, happier, and notice your depressive symptoms lifting.
-
Supporting mental health professionals needing assistance with clients with chronic suicidality, safety planning needs, or inpatient hospitalizations.
