You are more resilient than you think. Being here, you are already taking the first step towards wellness. And what does wellness look like for you; more joy, less anxiety, better sleep? Are you adjusting to a new medical condition, amid a life transition or wanting to improve your relationships? I work from a whole-person health approach. Our bodies and our minds are connected, as well as those who move through life with us. I have navigated the behavioral health world for over 30 years. You will have a partner in your health journey; spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. I will provide concrete coping skills and goals, as well as existential widening and techniques for inner peace. I believe everyone can change, but change requires a plan, dedication, community, support, encouragement, and accountability. If you are ready, or just even want to see if you are ready to make sustainable change, I am here for you. Let’s get working! ****Please schedule sessions on the half-hour******
In our first session, we will outline what brings you in for therapy and what you want to accomplish.
