Every person has intrinsic value and worth- which is vitally important to remember when exploring one's personal journey. At times we forget and need gentle reminding. Having a skilled clinician to help shine a light on things that need attention or adjustment, sets us up for more of what we really want and need in life. Each person also holds a personal narrative, which contributes in shaping relationships and life choices, as well as contributes to problematic patterns and habits. Seeking support for a more fulfilling life and the restoration of what matters most, is nothing less than heroic. Call for a complimentary intake.
I've been licensed/ in practice for 32 years; enjoying the privilege with individuals, couples and families. Clients come to work on relationship improvement, anxiety, grief & loss, attachment, developmental changes, trauma recovery, and navigating other transformative experiences. I use various psychodynamic modalities and my approach is client centered.
Those I work with often report they feel safe to share life struggles without fear of judgment. As a result they are more easily able to recognize blockages in their lives which have prevented them from attaining meaningful goals. My job is to help you find areas that might get missed and to support you along the way in your journey.
