Hello! Looking for a confidence booster, a sounding board, someone to listen to your story? Experiencing coping issues, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Struggling in a relationship with others, yourself? The possibility for relief awaits discovery. Research claims that much of our pain and suffering comes from our past experiences which may influence how we think and feel about ourselves, life. Therapy can be a place to work through and shift these thoughts and help discover your true Self in the world. I believe our strongest resources for survival and living life are hiding within us, waiting to be revealed.
I'm experienced/trained in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, postpartum, anger, substance use, trauma and improving relationships, seeing both children & adults. With no judgment, I use an eclectic, positive, humanistic approach to therapy- Looking at what is possible, what can you do? Becoming vulnerable, “looking inside” -is the first step.
Collaboratively, let’s embrace the possibility of change, create a new relationship towards self-awareness and personal growth together! Curiosity is the gateway forward. I appreciate your courage and strength in seeking out help for you and/or your inner child, considering the possibility of hope and change. It would be my honor to be part of your journey.
