Reaching out for help is not easy for many of us but it can be very rewarding. I am frequently humbled and inspired by the courage clients show as they work to make real changes in their lives. Attending therapy demonstrates a strength and a willingness to face challenges and make changes. I am honored to accompany clients on their journey to create a life they desire.
I specialize in helping clients who struggle with psychological trauma, depression , anxiety, life changes, women's issues, medical conditions impacting one's mental health, various forms of abuse, grief and loss as well as marital and relation problems and managing psychological pain.
My approach specifically helps with the development of emotional awareness and skills that you can use in your daily life to be kinder to yourself and others, regulate seemingly unpredictable and intolerable emotions, decrease unwanted behavior, and become more effective and understanding in relationships.
