My clients present with mild-severe anxiety/depression, most often caused by trauma, grief/loss, emotional pain from attachment trauma experienced in childhood, due to various family dysfunctions. Most feel isolated, lonely and confused in their struggles, often ashamed that they cannot cope and too fearful to ask for help. Reaching out is a courageous step, and my clients seek to find relief from overwhelming emotions, to tell their story, be heard, seen, validated and understood from their perspective. In our sessions they improve awareness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and coping through insight and renewed clarity.
I use evidence-based approaches (ACT, DBT, ERP) to support clients in exploring their current situation, mental health symptoms, relationships, available strengths and past successes. Clients learn, practice, and integrate healthy coping skills and a new perspective of themselves, others and their unique strength, values, needs and future goals.
I know that seeking mental health support can hard, yet struggling alone is harder. With 20 years of experience in mental health & crisis support for adults, teens and their families, I am able to provide emotional support/stability, insight, while teaching you the skills that leads to mental health improvement and recovery.

Parents may find past experiences from their own childhood resurfacing, and many feel stuck in a slowly developing family dysfunction, which can be hard to change. This group offers a space for parents to share, learn, find support and understanding, and discuss resources etc. for improved relationships in the family. All welcome <3.
