My website
I support clients in finding clarity, understanding themselves more deeply, and taking steps towards creating the kind of life they want to experience. My clients feel lost or overwhelmed and want something to change, but may not know where to start. Together, we work to understand how unprocessed emotions and past experiences are getting in the way of their wellbeing in the form of anxious thoughts, unhelpful relationship patterns, or negative self-talk. My clients want to build tools to become more self-aware, cope with challenges, and feel more satisfied in their personal relationships.
I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, life transitions, family challenges, perfectionism, career issues, and trauma. I strive to create a supportive space for growth using evidence-based, personalized coping strategies. I am also trained in EMDR and use it with clients in session when clinically appropriate.
My aim is to enable you to feel a stronger sense of well-being and to help you feel connected with your sense of self-worth. Engaging in therapeutic work requires courage and openness, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of your journey. If you're interested in exploring whether we're a good fit, I invite you to call and schedule a free consultation.
