Has something always felt off in your life? Perhaps you’ve never made peace with your past, or you feel you’ve settled for too little in the present. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the challenges of a new pregnancy or new (or old) parenting? You have come to the right place! I can help with the overwhelming feelings of new and old relationships. Feelings of not being good enough, despite what you've accomplished, or everything you do for those around you. I help people discover and accept their authentic self. Sometimes that means learning to better understand and love life as it is, and sometimes that means making changes.
With nearly 30 years of experience and training in mental health, I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgmental space to explore anything that comes up for you. Together we can discover what is holding you back from living a happier life, the life that you want to be living. So reach out and let's begin.
What if you could be happy with yourself as you are? What if you could cope better in the moment, while using creativity and self-exploration to heal your past? I know it’s hard to reach out for help. You’ve already shown bravery by getting this far. I look forward to helping you with the next step. Call or email me to set up an initial consultation.
