Message to clients

Before booking with me, I want patients to know that their well-being is my top priority. I strive to create a supportive and empowering environment where individuals feel heard and understood. My hope is for each patient to embark on a journey towards mental health and wholeness, guided by personalized and compassionate care.

I'm thrilled to announce that I now offer both telehealth and in-person appointments for individuals seeking mental health care. Through the wonders of technology, I can provide you with the same high-quality care you'd receive in person, all from the comfort and safety of your own home. If you prefer face-to-face sessions, I'm more than happy to accommodate that as well.

I'm proud to offer minimal wait time for appointments. I understand the importance of prompt care, especially for those in need of mental health services. Whether you're navigating through depression, anxiety, or any other mental health condition, my commitment is to provide you with the timely and comprehensive care you deserve.
