My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Feeling overwhelmed & wondering why life seems challenging? It's as if you get knocked down & can't get up sometimes. It feels impossible to get things done. Do you struggle to understand your feelings & responses? It's hard to be you or it feels that way? Maybe you want to be happier & improve your relationships & need some support. You wonder why past difficult life events weigh on your thoughts & struggle to understand what happened & why you have issue with moving past things? You overthink how others perceive your actions & wish you didn't. You want to understand why you are the way you are & don't know how. I get it!

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, stuck or repeating patterns of undesirable behaviors, I can offer you a safe place to process your feelings and develop healthy coping skills. Whether you are experiencing challenges or simply just need someone to listen, I can help you to identify actionable steps to manage stress, create desired change and enhance life satisfaction. I tailor client-centered treatment plans, using modalities such as: CBT, Expressive Therapies, Existential (logo) Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness to treat anxiety, depression, trauma survivors, loss & grief, mood disorders, PTSD and ADHD.

Are you experiencing grief, anxiety, depression and/or added stress? Do you ever wonder where you belong within your school/workplace, social/peer, or familial groups? Does this contribute to your past and current negative mindsets? Are there unhealthy mindsets that cripple or affect your growth and ability to change? If this sounds familiar, or if there’s more to your story, I would like to let you know you aren’t alone. No situation that is experienced is untreatable. I firmly believe in the power and strength built from long term, therapeutic practices.

As a trained therapist I specialize in women's issues. I have experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, health issues, addiction, marital issues, parent and child issues, infertility, loss, and more. Working from a wholistic perspective, I love to help my clients create a realistic plan to help them improve their circumstances. Therapy with me is a confidential and safe space to share. I believe in the power of therapy and love nothing more than seeing my clients improve how they feel and alleviate suffering.

I have specialty in treating anxiety and depression, and work to help my clients become free from the bondage of fear, worry, overthinking, inflexibility, and perfectionism. In a warm and safe environment, I also help couples that feel dissatisfied and disconnected to communicate and experience a revitalized relationship together, and to create vision for their best lives and their shared dreams. I enjoy teaching communication skills to ensure each are able to be present with each other, understand each other and resolve issues including sex, parenting, finances, family of origin, and trauma issues.

Using evidence-based practices and techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, I help clients shift and grow in meaningful ways. I work with individuals and families ages 15+ who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, challenges with self-esteem, relationship concerns, familial challenges, and more. Areas of expertise include: trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, life transitions (parenthood, school, career, relationships), mindfulness, & relationships

My ideal client struggles with insecurities, fears, has low self- esteem, and difficulties to identify his or her strengths. He or she has fears, and anxieties, and create the worst possible case scenarios in his or her inner dialogue for situations that he or she finds threatening or challenging. Also my ideal client needs to identify strategies to better manage their time. My ideal client struggles with anxieties in his or her relationship, which could lead to codependency and anxious attachment patterns.

Are you wrestling with the challenges of past traumatic experiences? Do you want to diminish your anxiety and depression, being able to move forward without always being triggered or being awoken by a panic attack? Your goals may be to enjoy your life, be able to manage your emotions and enjoy healthy relationships. I'm here to listen, understand, and help you feel validated and valued so that you can move forward confidently. We will be working through trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and exposure-based therapy with a solution-focused approach, along with incorporating your faith, if applicable.

A strong sense of who you are at your core is import for healthy self esteem. This also means connection with knowing ones strengths and acknowledging our challenges. I belief it is import to practice mindfulness on a daily basis so that we can stay firmly rooted in the here and now. Working through the past so that we can gleam gems of knowledge of choices and how we can continue or change the path in the future. Another key to building a healthier relationship with self is building/ maintaining healthy boundaries.

My ideal client would be someone who struggles with outer challenges in life. I am looking for someone who is actively pursuing personal growth but needs a small push toward the finish line. An ideal client is prepared to better their life for their own and their loved ones' sake.

It is important that my clients have issues that I am qualified to treat. An ideal client would be willing to explore, understand, and work through their psychological and emotional challenges. Their needs consist of a nonjudgmental space where they feel seen, heard, and understood, allowing them to express themselves freely and practical tools and coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress and to navigate challenging emotions or situations.

My ideal clients are those who have faced traumatic experiences and are grappling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, which can leave them feeling vulnerable, immobilized, and stuck. Trauma has the capacity to strip individuals of their sense of dignity and identity, often leaving them feeling empty and helpless. These clients seek the support and the desire to be acknowledged, heard, and treated with respect. My dream clients are individuals who are ready and willing to embark on a collaborative journey with me to explore and address their mental health, ultimately working together towards their well-being.

I have a depth of experience working with adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients of many different backgrounds seeking help for a wide variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, trauma, lack of motivation, career difficulties, parenting problems, family conflicts, and emotional regulation.

Are you navigating life's emotional rollercoaster & looking for a friendly hand to hold along the way? Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-loathing and relationship challenges? Are you looking for relief from your struggles, a boost in self-worth, and stronger connections with yourself and others? You may want to break free from the past, learn positive coping strategies, cultivate healthy habits, learn acceptance, and find peace within yourself. My ideal client is someone who just wants to feel like themselves again—laughing, loving, and living life to the fullest.

I offer SPECIALIZED, INDIVIDUALIZED, and EFFECTIVE treatment for anxiety/depression and related issues.

You will also learn "anxiety/depression hacks" that can help you get immediate relief while working on long term change. With specialized training and three decades of experience I have seen many people significantly reduce their symptoms and enjoy life more.

Are you suffering from sleepless nights? Tightness and tension in your body? Is there chaos, stress from daily life and nervous system overload? Or are childhood traumas revisiting you within ways you parent or in your anger responses? Welcome to your journey to a place of peace and calm. Take a breath, walk in to nature, and find your true centered self. The progress and pace are yours to establish, but I sometimes offer gentle challenges and homework to move the process along in a positive way; working in a growth mindset capacity.
