People often reach out with a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, eating disorders, career concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, my clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.
I have an integrative approach that blends modalities to increase mindfulness, emotional insight, and regulation. I offer an emotionally safe environment where you will express exactly what you are feeling without fear. You will resolve past wounds, learn new skills and motivate to change and cope differently. Moving forward together is the goal!
Let's create a rewarding relationship that will lean into trust, safety and motivation for a better relationship with yourself and those around you. Asking for help is hard but once you start, you will feel a partnership in my care. Let's have a courtesy intro call to see if we are fit to move forward together. I'm here for every step of this journey.
