The struggle is real. I can help. I am a licensed therapist providing trauma-informed care to doctors, nurses, first responders, aides, therapists and others in the health care sector. I have first hand experience working in hospital in the Spring of 2020 and in outpatient and community settings prior to and throughout the arc of the Covid pandemic. If you are experiencing feelings of burnout, uncertainty, feeling "off" or prior ways of coping are no longer helping; or experiencing more intense feelings such as loneliness, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety or difficulty getting through the day, therapy can help. I help clients regain a sense of control, find new ways to cope, and identify a path forward. How will we do that? It looks different for everyone. There’s no one size fits all approach to therapy. But what you can always expect is a safe space and confidentiality. I will meet you where you are, go at a pace and in a manner that's comfortable for you. I provide psychoeducation to help you gain deeper insight and understanding about why you might be feeling what you are. And we work together to identify and implement practical strategies that will work for you. I will help you to feel better and more in control. We'll even smile along the way. I hope you will consider reaching out if you could use some support. We can get to know each other and you can ask me questions you may have. You have nothing to lose and I would be honored to get to know you. My practice is inclusive of all individuals and values diversity, equity & inclusion.
