Perhaps you are managing an uptick in stress, anxiety/depression and poor sleep due to feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you or a loved one is managing a serious health condition and hope to learn best approaches, new coping skills and options for resources. Or, you are a parent, a teen or young adult experiencing stress or loss of a loved one or a relationship. I believe people are insightful and resilient. You have the innate ability to adjust to all types of challenging circumstances. You deserve support while you think through what matters most, explore and identify your feelings in order to move forward to find corrective balance.
I am knowledgeable in Behavioral Health, Medical/Geriatrics, Dementia, long term care planning. I am trained in grief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing. I support my clients in review of values, taking a client centered approach. I will promote your healing through review of what matters most from a whole health perspective.
I will offer you a compassionate and safe space to share. I am passionate about exploring meaning, while pinpointing your strengths, teaching new tools and helping you build new skills for success. I integrate diversity, gender, sexuality, age, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and culture as enriching opportunities for growth.
