The Practice
I view myself as an active participant in guiding my clients out of feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges. I facilitate self-awareness by providing a supportive, nurturing environment with honest and direct feedback. My goal during the therapy hour is for clients to see their barriers through a different perspective and to feel they have the ability to make meaningful changes in their lives to reach their goals. Every client's personal journey is unique and my approach is tailored to fit the specific needs of each client.
My experience lies in working with clients with family and relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement and loss, stress, depression, anxiety and life transitions.
