Do you struggle with feelings that affect your relationships? Do you put your needs at the bottom of your to-do list? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed while trying to find their place in the world. Ignoring your needs and giving too much of yourself can lead to long-term issues for the mind and body. Therapy is a perfect way to learn more about yourself and take control of your life. I specialize in working with adults who are motivated and ready to learn more about themselves. Are you a caregiver for someone with a chronic illness or dementia? I have vast experience helping caregivers cope with life's challenges.
I believe there is hope for a better quality of life. I offer a person-centered approach to therapy which acknowledges the client as the expert of their life story. I help by meeting clients where they are and creating a plan utilizing their strengths to help them move forward. I provide an inclusive, safe space with in-person or virtual appointments.
Helping clients live their best life is my mission. It might mean working through a loss or life transition, setting boundaries, or changing behaviors. Everyone deserves an opportunity to express themselves and seek the support they need. Contact me today for a free consultation. I am excited to walk beside you on the journey to self-discovery.
