Additional Services

Join me to address concerns that you, your child, and/or your family may have been struggling with recently, for weeks, months, or years.  Depression, anxiety, professional or academic struggles, grief, and loss often cause isolation leading to setbacks with your academics, health, personal relationships, or career.  

Please know that you are not alone in your journey.  

Allow me the privilege and honor to serve you, your child, and/or family while you navigate the difficult emotions, conversations, and symptoms that continue to affect your family in a deeply personal and life altering way.  Allow me to walk alongside you in order to reach your expectations, whether they be personal, academic, or professional.
