Email: selfcareandcounseling at gmail. If you’re looking for a safe space where you can be heard by an empathetic therapist who's experienced, look no further—that’s me. I provide virtual couple counseling and adult therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, work stress, and health issues. We'd be a good fit for therapy if you're ready to commit to meeting regularly and open to examining your concerns (and life) in new ways. I believe most people have what they need to overcome their issues, but they may need a shift in perspective or support through change.
Depending on your situation, I'll utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherapy, coaching, and/or brain retraining techniques to help you move forward, break free, connect, get to the next level, become more fulfilled, and ultimately feel more peaceful—more like your true self.
About me? My clients say I'm calming, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I've been a therapist for more than 20 years. I'm a medical family therapist and a licensed clinical social worker. I've trained hundreds of therapists and worked in a variety of industries. Give me a chance to help you make things right.
