Let's talk! It takes courage and vulnerability to recognize that you might need help in making some changes in your life. I 100% believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to help you on your journey of self-reflection, growth, and healing. Together, we will explore your life challenges and develop personal goals to help you achieve your optimal, authentic self. I have experience working with teenagers through adults who've struggled with abuse, grief, shame, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, past traumas, anxiety, depression, and difficulties navigating life as a highly sensitive person or empath.
In a safe, empowering, and supportive space, I embrace a holistic approach focusing on self-talk, behaviors, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and communication. I promote trust, mutual respect, and encourage positive changes in order to achieve mindfulness, balance, and wellness in your life. I will also challenge you to help you achieve your goals.
It's important for you to feel comfortable in counseling as finding the right therapeutic relationship fosters your inner healing. Everybody has valid problems, but everybody also has inner strengths. I would love to hear your story and help you recognize the power and resilience within you to move forward on your journey called life.
