Therapist Overview
Looking for a therapist can be challenging. For those looking for the first time, I’d like to offer some thoughts on finding one who’s right for you.

Did you feel heard? Sometimes what we need is feeling supported by someone who “gets” us. Other times we grow from someone who is able to challenge us in just the right way. Some of the issues I have supported clients with include trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships and issues relating to gender, sexuality, racism, and aging.
