Toni Gilbert, LCSW
You don’t have to keep holding it all in. Anxiety, depression, and stress can show up quietly—or all at once. Maybe you're constantly overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. Life feels heavy, and you’re tired of carrying it alone. I help people who are navigating the emotional weight of everyday life—whether it’s work stress, relationship challenges, or that lingering sense that something just isn’t right. Together, we’ll create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
