I am currently welcoming new clients, both individuals and couples. Going to a counselor or therapist when you are feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or simply out of sorts should be as normal as going to the doctor when you have the flu. I see myself partnering with you in a therapeutic relationship as guide, coach and counselor, providing empathy and compassion as we explore issues and concerns, together, along the way. My approach is holistic, based upon the impact of the mind-body connection on well-being. My work background includes ten years as a teacher and twelve years as a hospice medical social worker.
I see people from all walks of life, including those experiencing life transitions, grief, and stress. Some of the ways these experiences manifest include anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship struggles, etc. I offer a sliding scale fee and work with you to meet your unique financial situation.
Call or email me to schedule a free phone or in-person 30 minute consult where you can learn more about this process and explore whether we are a good fit. Choosing a counselor that you feel comfortable with is important, and I wish you the best with whatever you decide.
