On the surface, things are going well, but maybe you've felt anxious or sad for a long time. Relationships, work, children- the responsibilities just keep piling up, and you're downright overwhelmed. You know that finding balance is important, but you often wonder what that even means. At the same time, you realize something has to change. Life can be painful. Therapy doesn't have to be and my goal is to make it less scary, help you feel heard, and encourage you to look within yourself to access the strength and tools that will propel your life forward. Let's connect!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Whatever support you're seeking - individual or relationship, single session or ongoing - through our work together you can feel better about yourself, your experiences, and your relationships. We're all more successful with the right support than we are in isolation.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I offer a safe, open-minded space that holds space for clients to express their feelings, understand their deepest needs, cope through challenges, and heal. I bring a compassionate, strengths based, and eclectic style to this work. It would be an honor to work towards building more joy, authenticity and mastery in your life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
While my practice specializes in challenges around life transitions, adjustment, grief and loss, aging, caregiving issues, and chronic illness, over the years I have also had the privilege of working successfully with people bringing a broad range of other concerns to my office, including depression, career counseling, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, and more. We are capable of change, just by reaching out you are taking the first step to increase your insight and move toward lasting inner peace.
