Congrats on taking this step towards wellness! I am accepting new clients & hope to help you on your journey. My goal is to provide clients w/ support through compassion, connection & a sense of humor. With 20+ years of experience guiding people of all ages & walks of life to overcome their mental health challenges (e.g. anxiety, depression, OCD, Eating Disorders, ADHD, ASD) I have the expertise you’re looking for. I also have extensive experience helping those w/ acute & chronic medical conditions, bereavement, trauma (I’m trauma-informed-care educated) & diverse populations w/ navigating social, medical & educational inequities.
My goal is to help you create positive & lasting change by providing a safe space to identify & overcome barriers to living your best life. I believe in using a strengths based approach, empowering you to build upon your unique abilities while learning to honor & trust yourself in the process. Together we can build your communication & coping skills!
I fundamentally believe that with the right help, we can all reach our full potential. I am committed to bringing compassion, authenticity, an open-mind and sense of humor to each session. We will work together in a safe and nurturing environment to establish relevant goals and a treatment plan tailored to guide you on your journey to wholeness & well-being.
