I believe that at any age, any person can benefit from having an intentional space to reflect on their goals and challenges in life in order to heal and grow into a more self-compassionate and authentic version of themselves. I am passionate about creating a space where clients feel validated and empowered to meet their goals. I use a collaborative approach where the client and I both contribute to the nature and direction of our sessions, going at the client’s pace and figuring out what challenges or concerns that take priority each session.
I specialize in Social Anxiety, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Depression, and Self-esteem. I enjoy helping people learn to reframe and diffuse unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and/or self-defeating behaviors as well as process and identify emotions that contribute to feeling stuck, confused, or defeated.
Feel free to email or call me and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and see if I am a good fit to support you.
