My practice is with adults ages 25- older adults. Many of the clients I work with are struggling with anxiety and depression, life transitions, grief which is impacting their ability to move forward and find their sense of self. Through our working together they are able to recognize through therapy ways to motivate themselves to find their center and explore all the possibilities that are there for them to make their life better.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then explore the challenges you're facing. This will help me understand and provide a plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life challenges. My approach is warm and supportive. Working together we can find ways to explore and meet your goals, improve your quality of life and find your passion through self discovery.
