Do you want relief from suffering? Do you to stop want our mind from racing all the time? Do you have trouble sleeping, concentrating, functioning or just being present in life? Do you feel guilty for not being able to stop overthinking? Do you feel like you are just existing but not really living, (let alone thriving)? If this sounds familiar to you, I can help! A lot of these symptoms are anxiety or depression based and can be linked to trauma. I specialize in helping clients take the deep dive into the root cause of their distress to bring about profound healing.
I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma and/or issues related to their upbringing, relationships or other life circumstances. During our sessions, we will take the deep dive, delving into the root of issues and current struggles. My treatment plans are tailored specifically for each client and their most optimal results.
My style is caring, empathetic and supportive. My clients describe me as down-to-Earth, knowledgeable, engaging, with a good sense of humor they find therapeutic. In addition to therapy, I also teach parenting and co-parenting classes. Contact me to book a free consultation to discuss the possibility of working together
