Hello, I'm an experienced therapist with over 20 years in the field. I have always been interested in people’s stories and support clients facing a variety of issues: insomnia, sadness, anxiety, grief/loss, relationship challenges, work and life stress,and lgbtq support. If you are facing a challenge,it may be helpful to talk to an empathetic professional trained to help you develop new perspectives, feel supported and make changes. My focus is on the uniqueness of each client and feel it is important to establish rapport and a partnership so that the therapy experience is collaborative. I will not simply sit and listen but will interact, ask questions, and offer suggestions. I enjoy working with adults of any age in individual therapy. Some of my specialties include stress management, grief and loss, anxiety , self-esteem and supporting clients facing life changes. With more than 20 years of experience, I consider myself an eclectic therapist using an Integrative Holistic approach. I use a variety of tools from different therapies including Rogerian, Cognitive Behavioral, Guided Imagery, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, Client Centered and Family of Origin in order to best support a client’s journey toward relief and wholeness of Mind, Body, and Spirit. I look forward to working with you and invite you to reach out.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect to feel respected, empathized with and listened to following our sessions. I strive to provide a safe and trusting space where you can share your experience and challenges. I will interact and offer supportive questions as opposed to simply listening. I will suggest appropriate articles, books, or tools to help you achieve your goals. Clients describe my style as being empathetic, warm, professional and having a good sense of humor!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients tell me they feel supported and listened to and find me genuine and professional. I enjoy teaching them meditation, mindfulness exercises, and developing personalized guided imagery to support their journey. Another strength is providing the guidance so clients feel more confident, less anxious, and less pain from past situations. I can also offer you education and support during a time of loss or grief.
