Feeling anxious or depressed? Having a difficult time with overcoming obstacles in your life? I am passionate about helping you find a solution to live life and experience the happiness in all you are. I am committed to walk your journey with you and will provide a safe and nurturing experience for you step by step. Together, I will work with you towards a more joyful and meaningful purpose.
My areas of specialty are anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have over 18 years of experience as a therapist with successful outcomes with adults, children, families, couples, in both individual and group sessions.
I also provide help with difficulties at work, school, and in relationships. I use a variety of treatment methods. You and I together can discuss what works best for you. In addition to traditional therapies, I also utilize the expressive arts, including somatic movement therapy, which provides insight with the use of art, movement, and a deeper insight.
Over the past 18 years, I have gained valuable experiences working in clinics and a private practice. I also have developed the skills to provide you with the necessary tools to understand and work with your spirituality, issues later in life, family conflict, and finding your meaning in life.
