Feeling down lately? Depression have a grip on you and it’s interfering with your daily activities? Maybe it’s anxiety, other mental health condition, loss of a loved one, a traumatic experience, or maybe it’s life stress compounding and you just can’t seem to catch a break!? As society is adjusting to our “new normal” (lifestyle post-pandemic) struggles and constant change seem to be around every corner. Want a place to vent? Rediscover yourself and your zest for life? I utilize a strength-based approached in a welcoming environment. I also offer mindfulness and somatic therapy options.
I have a special interest & training working with individuals who have experienced intergenerational &/or chronic trauma: its impact, healing, and prevention. I truly enjoy getting to know people genuinely and helping them rediscover their inner strengths and interests that make them who they are.
It is my goal to create a comforting and welcoming space for you to express yourself freely. This confidential, therapeutic relationship is meant to be your safe space to help build an emotional practice of healthy self-expression and emotion regulation.
