As a therapist, I focus on services for individuals and families. Services include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, anger management, adjustment, depression, relationships, etc. We will work together to help you develop insight, create meaning in your life, and find traction to achieve your relationship, career, health, and wellness goals. I have experience with all ages and abilities.
When life becomes challenging or your aspirations are diminishing, I invite you to explore your therapy services with me. Therapy is a collaborative process that balances listening to and insightful feedback to help you make the changes you desire. You will have a safe place to explore your emotions, thoughts & behaviors. I will provide you services from a holistic approach to identify resources, problem solve & facilitate services to ensure your needs are met. These services will be developmentally and culturally appropriate treatments that will empower you to address life challenges and enrich your life. I believe that every person is resilient, and has the capacity to heal and live a full life.
