Today you have taken the first step in your journey towards positive change, growth, and well-being. We create a genuine, safe, and supportive environment for you to engage in self-reflection and remove obstacles to realizing your goals, empowering you to embrace and nurture your most authentic selves. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan from teen age through elder adulthood experiencing mood, trauma, adjustment, identity, relational, and developmental challenges.
I believe strongly in the protective power of our support systems and connectedness in bolstering our experiences of overall well-being and making meaning in our lives. My passion and specializations include processing trauma, grief, and identity using existential and attachment frameworks.
I understand that reaching out for help can be an intimidating experience that means acknowledging your struggles are real, and I recognize your inner strength and determination in asking for support. Schedule your free initial consultation today using the "book now" button on my website.
