Have you experienced some life change or experience, which you feel you need help to overcome like anxiety, depression, or grief? Have you felt as if sometimes you are drowning in your emotions instead of just experiencing them? Does anger, sadness, anxiety, or fear keep impacting your life in ways you don't want it to? Do you struggle managing your emotions and would love to learn how to cope with them effectively? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, hopelessness, or emptiness? I help young adult women and women of all ages with ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions helping them learn healthy coping skills, mindfulness, re-framing limiting beliefs, and using their strengths to empower them to live out their full potential. If you want a non-judgmental therapist who will help you manage what seems unmanageable, book an appointment with me today! I want to help you or your adolescent start your healing journey and enjoy life again. I will empower you to find your strengths, gifts, and purpose, build great relationships and learn to manage your emotions and thoughts, while increasing self-control to conquer your new path forward! I have two kids of my own and love helping parents and kids/teens understand each other and form better bonds. I also enjoy holistic medicine and therapy and therefore practice it when needed. I am always eager to learn new techniques or read new research to better help my clients.
