Together, in a warm, safe, collaborative environment, we create a positive path towards your well-being to deal with anxiety, depression, procrastination and stress. Utilizing your inherent strengths and coping strategies with new successful skills and approaches, we will uncover negative thought patterns or behaviors, stuck places, and create new pathways. Reconnecting with your healthy self, we will navigate through present transitions, pain or loss to transform your connection with yourself and others.
I shape my approach to focus on your unique needs. Some tools: stress reduction, communication skills, procrastination/time management, mindfulness, CBT. As individuals and couples, teens to elders, I support you through life transitions, addressing resultant stress/anxiety/depression regarding relationships, academia, parenting, sexuality, retirement, self
