I specialize in uncovering the root causes behind feelings of anxiety and depression, helping individuals break free from unproductive patterns that may be holding them back. With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I've discovered that when we expose these patterns and express the emotions tied to them, your true self emerges. As internal conflicts diminish, relationships flourish, and the authentic meaning and purpose of your identity come to light. My goal is to guide each person in developing a personalized plan that aligns with their values and unique contributions. I've had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages. For children and young people, I provide a safe space for them to express themselves and navigate life's challenges. On the other end of the spectrum, I've supported elders and disabled individuals coping with loss and grief. When emotions connected to grief are stifled, I specialize in identifying and resolving these emotional roadblocks, facilitating a path to healing and adjustment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our initial session is a pivotal opportunity for you to express your aspirations and share what you hope to achieve through our collaboration. My approach is centered on fostering a strong foundation of trust, openness, connection, and mutual understanding. With these qualities, we will be laying the groundwork for our subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Developing a trusting relationship. I want to know you as a person and how I might assist you in knowing more about yourself so that you can take control of self-discovery.
