Licensed Mental Health CounselorChild Mental Health SpecialistSometimes life presents us with overwhelming and painful experiences. Providing empathetic treatment for individuals who have experienced difficult and traumatic experiences is a focus of my practice. In the course of providing therapy to children, teens and adults I have heard many tragic and painful stories. Providing ethical and compassionate therapy to those who have experienced these experiences is the focus of my practice.
I look forward to finding out if we would be a good fit in working together to find your path to hope and healing.
