I have a lot of experience working with individuals (from young adults to seniors), who are anxious or depressed or who are encountering challenges in their lives that are overwhelming. I work with adults of all ages. My work is trauma informed. I like to help people figure out what they can do to feel better about themselves and about their circumstances.
My approach is gentle and I have a lot of empathy for the people I work with. I help people problem solve and find ways of responding or coping. I try to provide the tools so people feel empowered and better able to move forward.
I see therapy as an opportunity for someone to express themselves to someone who will really listen. If you feel that you need to talk to someone who will truly listen to you and problem solve with you, please give give me a call. I will call you back as soon as I can.
