OVERWHELMED? In this Post-pandemic world it is the "new normal" to feel anxious, depressed, fearful and at times, hopeless. Are depression, anxiety, worry, fear getting in your way of being the best that you know you can be? Have you tried everything you can think of and still distressed! I CAN HELP!! My 25+ years of professional experience, enhanced by my personal life experiences including multiple losses, as well as recent significant loss During the pandemic, I worked successfully with numerous families, couples and individuals to help stabilize and cope ; I continue to help with current life transitions.
While I am trained in traditional, evidence based methods, I believe that counseling is not a "one size fits all" approach. . You will find creative positive and unique ways to reach your goals. I AM A CERTIFIED GRIEF EDUCATOR, STUDIED UNDER DAVID KESSLER, renowned grief expert.
I not only bring over 25 years professional experience in the mental health/counseling field, but deep and profound life experiences . My background and personal experience serve to enhance my compassion, empathy and healing abilities . I work intuitively with each unique client. My clients learn to use awareness, insight and action to make changes.
