Are you navigating a significant life transition, struggling with grief, or wrestling with complex family or relationship dynamics? Many of my clients come to therapy seeking support with challenges like emotional regulation, work/life balance, and healing from unresolved childhood issues. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for those who often put their own needs last to finally feel seen and heard. You will have the opportunity to process the complex emotions and behaviors you may not feel comfortable discussing with others, while developing healthier self-care routines.
With nearly two decades as a psychotherapist in diverse settings—from hospitals to community mental health—I offer an integrated, trauma-informed, and holistic approach tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in treating: - Mood Disorders - Generalized Anxiety Disorder - PTSD - Major Depressive Disorder - Grief Counseling
Our work together is focused on improving your self-image. By building confidence and trust in yourself, you will gain the resilience needed to navigate personal and professional challenges. If this aligns with your goals, please feel free to contact me for a consultation or to schedule an initial appointment.
