I once heard this metaphor about the lotus flower: "The lotus flower grows deep in muddy waters, far away from the sun. In time the Lotus reaches the light and transforms into a beautiful flower." You may be faced with many challenges right now: stress, anxiety, a terminal diagnosis, or perhaps you are experiencing loss of a loved one. Like the lotus flower, it may seem that everything around you is dark and the light seems very distant. It is my passion to help get you through that muddy water and help you bloom into the beautiful lotus that I know you are.
I believe therapy should be a place where you come as you are and can share your real self. I use a strength based, compassion focused approach with my clients. By having a safe space to look at your thoughts and emotions, you will find the ability to understand your deepest feelings and learn to develop coping strategies to support you.
In our sessions, I like to focus on the mind-body connection and family systems. I have extensive experience working in medical social work with patients who are battling cancer and helping with adjustment to illness, supporting caregivers, providing pre-bereavement & grief support. I may also integrate a faith based approach into therapy, at your request.
