I work with adults in their 30s-70s who is overwhelmed with chronic stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief/loss and/or life disrupting childhood trauma/post-traumatic stress. I also work with individuals and couples who want to resolve problems within their relationships, life transitions, divorce, including cultural identity issues. I work well with men who are in midlife (30s-70s) struggling with anxiety, aging and/or depression. I also work with those who are going through many life changes and identity conflicts. These clients often feel lost, stuck and alone. Their anxiety, negativity and low mood is out of control.
My therapy style is highly focused on client safety, fully understanding one's experience with support. I offer prospective clients a free phone session to share my therapy style and clients are able to share their issues/questions. I offer clients some initial useful tools to gain some relief, hope and empowerment from the very first session.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by fear, frustration or tough life situations, contact me. You do not have to live this way. It is challenging to ask about counseling, but it also shows your courage & strength. It takes work to address issues and turn distress to relief, but it can be worth it. So, don't wait -Call for your free consultation.
