Taking the steps to find a therapist is a courageous step. I take pride in helping clients process complex emotions and create a secure sense of self. Your issue, need, or goal will be unique, but I strive to provide a safe space to assist you in the process.
I have assisted hospice patients and families in their grief and end of life issues for years. I have a vast amount of expertise with clients that are suicidal, in crisis, or have experienced trauma. The type of therapy may differ depending on the client, but I always work to provide an emotionally safe place through unconditional support and empathy.
As the owner of the Center for Hope and Healing, LLC, I have provided support in the community for many years. Our center is striving to be a leading resource for people in their grief, crisis, or trauma resolution. I would be honored to help you with your current struggles as you work to find the best version of yourself.
