I'm so glad you're here and that you are ready to start this journey with me. I believe real change is possible, and I'm so honored to be able to be your choreographer of change as clients become their best possible selves. The hardest part is taking that first step. Be brave and take that step - so you can live your best life. Old patterns or past experiences can keep us stuck; they create obstacles to living presently. Together we will create the space for you to be more present and feel more fulfilled in your life, and reach you goals, bring structure to your life, and improve your relationship with self or others.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, phase of life changes, Behavorial concerns, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting, family conflicts, trauma and abuse. My interventions utilize cognitive behavioral therapy/trauma -focused CBT, EMDR, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and various couple's models.
I would love to help and support you today. Let's get this process started so you don't have to wait to grow into the version of yourself that you are capable of becoming.
