  • At this time, I do currently accept EAP strictly for 1st responders. If you would like more information, please reach out and I would be happy to direct you on how to get started.

  • There can be many things we are scared to admit we are thinking and feeling. Becoming a burden and saying “the thing” aloud can be so scary and shame wrapped up in it making it difficult to be honest with the ones who love us.

    A mental health professional can help you face “the thing”, find patterns, and not judge you one bit. There are scary things in our heads and you deserve to be seen for ALL that you are without any judgement or worry.

  • This is a common thought when deciding if therapy is right for you.

    Everyone needs help sometimes, and the most courageous thing to do is just reach out. Even if you don’t commit right now, you still did the hardest part.

    You have the choice to let people in your life know. Everything is confidential and your privacy I take VERY seriously.
