Welcome! My passion is to empower women recovering from anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma & burn-out. I support women in caregiving roles who are motivated to find work/life balance; women recovering from trauma or abusive relationships; and ladies looking to rebuild their sense of self, dealing with life stressors, and/or seeking a safe and supportive space to slow down and refocus. I'm here to listen, support, and help you navigate emotions, improve coping skills, prioritize self care, and cultivate healthy relationships, including your relationship with your Self. Please apply at www.self-haven.com/private-session
As a compassionate listener, engaged teacher & empowering ally, my primary focus as your counselor is to ensure you feel safe and heard. We will work at your pace to explore areas for healing and growth. I'm here to join and/or guide you through this process, as well as to empower you with coping tools and strategies for healthy functioning and self-agency.
My practice and care is founded on self-awareness, self care, personal development, and connection. My therapeutic approach includes active listening, tailored guidance, CBT, ACT, creative, and integrative interventions. It takes courage and committment to step out of your comfort zone. You are not alone! Please apply at www.self-haven.com/private-session
