Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, family and friends, things you care about, are you struggling to make a decision, or feeling emotionally stuck? I am here to help you reclaim control and find balance. My approach to therapy focuses on collaborating with clients to build a nurturing space, where each person's unique strengths and goals are validated and affirmed. I serve individuals and couples in overcoming struggles with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity issues, family conflict, intergenerational trauma, and work/life harmony.
I foster an environment rooted in hope and curiosity. Using a person-centered lens I believe that we all have inherent resources that enable us to deal with whatever life brings. Counseling is more than a reactive response to an issue but rather a proactive response to overall well-being which is characterized by ongoing self-care and maintenance.
I empathize with your situation and see it as a "temporary" situation. Allow me the opportunity to help you gain control and self-awareness. If you’re ready to make a change in your life, please reach out for a FREE 15-minute consultation. Evening and weekend appointments available!
