I am a licensed therapist with over ten years of experience providing one on one counseling.

If you are in a place where you could benefit from addressing some life stressors, I encourage you to take the next step!

Connie has been great! She has really helped me with my anxiety and panic attacks. She understands my condition and helps me with cognitive coping skills.

Connie is great. We only had a couple sessions, but I found her extremely helpful. She is professional and prompt in her responses. She met me where I was and seemed in tune with my needs and goals. She provided resources that I can come back to after my time with her has come to and end. I have really appreciated her insight.
