As we face challenges, transitions, or even in our day to day lives, we may be feeling stuck in moving forward and unsure where to start to help ourselves. It can feel like a big burden and an overwhelming start to begin therapy. I am here to sit with you to provide a safe space to hear your story. As we work together, my goal is to assist you in developing healthy coping skills and solutions that will benefit your life.
My approach is trauma-informed, and a holistic approach. I have over 10 years of experience working directly with children/families in the school setting. My specialties include trauma, child development, parenting guidance, anxiety, and grief. Throughout our sessions, we would discuss a plan with tools and techniques to address your needs.
I am passionate about the potential of the evolving self, integrating self compassion, and working through emotional barriers that make us feel incapable in reaching our highest potential to live healthier lives. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting with you, and hope to connect with you soon!
