Welcome to Cream City Counseling
Your journey, our support.
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family history. In initial sessions, we'll delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Your Mind Matters
Mental health is just as important as physical health. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It’s normal to experience ups and downs in mood, but when these feelings interfere with daily life, it may be a sign of a mental health condition.
As a mental health therapist, I am a medical professional specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.
