Congratulations on being ready and willing to make changes in your life! Have you been struggling to cope with the challenges that life sometimes brings? Has this struggle caused you to feel sad, worried, or unhealthy? This is the first step towards healing and growing. Therapy is a great way to understand why we do what we do and how to stop some of the negative patterns our brain has set based on our past experiences.
I have over 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and mental health issues. I believe in the power of retraining our brains to see the world differently. I take a supportive direct approach to addressing the problematic thinking patterns that might be keeping you stuck in your pain.
I would love to help you find the skills needed to deal with the challenges life brings. Feel free to reach out to start your journey to healing and happiness today! Being that I’m usually in session during business hours, it’s hard for me to return calls. I may not return your call if I’m currently full, but will try to if I have time.
