Life can present us with challenging and stressful situations. And yet, "We are made to persist. That is how we find out who we are"-Tobias Wolff. This philosophy provides the reassurance that each person has the power and potential to surpass many difficult situations. In therapeutic practice, I work with clients to identify and cultivate their innate strengths and resources, inspiring positive change and a more meaningful, rewarding life.
Through a supportive and empowering atmosphere, we will collaborate to create a customized plan to facilitate personal growth and achieve your unique goals. My professional experience includes work with addiction, anxiety, depression, difficult life/work transitions, grief/loss, personality disorders, relationship issues, and trauma.
Coming from a strengths-based perspective, I foster a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental environment. Incorporating creative and well-researched practices, we will work together toward a balanced, purposeful, and vibrant existence. You have the right to happiness, and with a strong therapeutic support system, you can achieve a healthy and fulfilling life.
