Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant to make the best decision for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what family, friends, or coworkers think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.
Clinical areas of focus includes addressing issues such as Anxiety, ADHD, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, Grief, Anger Management, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Stress, and other Clinical Issues. I work with children and adults using Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Reality Therapy, and other evidenced-based techniques as they fit clients' needs.
I believe when a person decides to change their own behaviors rather than those of someone else, they are more likely successful in attaining their own goals and aspirations. That first step can be scary. Building a sense of empowerment, confidence, independence, and skills for sustainable wellness is a process. I'm here to support you in the journey.
