As a seasoned psychotherapist with personal experience overcoming anxiety, I’ve dedicated my career to helping adults navigate anxiety-related challenges. Having conquered my own anxiety decades ago, I bring empathy, insight, and practical strategies to my clients. I specialize in supporting adults aged 50 and beyond. By recognizing your unique life experiences, I tailor interventions to enhance your well-being. My focus is on fostering resilience, promoting effective coping skills, and improving meaningful connections to empower you to lead a fulfilling life beyond anxiety.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me as a seasoned psychotherapist, you can expect a warm and supportive environment. We begin by exploring your current challenges and goals, allowing me to understand your unique experiences and needs fully. Together, we establish a collaborative plan tailored to address your specific issues, focusing on practical strategies and coping skills. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer path forward and a sense of confidence in tackling whatever challenges you're facing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
What makes my approach unique is not just my professional expertise, but also my firsthand experience with the challenges and achievements that come with aging. Having navigated my own journey of self-discovery and growth, I am dedicated to helping others find fulfillment and empowerment as they navigate the third act of life.
