Are you feeling frustrated and stressed with your relationships or your job? Are you experiencing transitions that are causing you anxiety or feelings of depression? My goal is to help you find clarity and develop positive behavior changes, so that you can lead a more fulfilling life. We will examine all aspects of your self: psychological, biological, social, and spiritual. You will develop new perspectives, insights, and effective strategies to improve your life and overcome obstacles that have gotten in your way.
I have helped clients of all ages and life stages through challenges in their lives. Sometimes it just takes an objective listener. By gaining a better understanding of your past influences, present patterns, and inner beliefs, you can find the clarity you need for yourself, your relationships and your life.
I specialize in assisting men and women who are feeling "stuck" or don't feel that they are living their best life due to any of the following: life challenges, relationship concerns, stress management, grief and loss, work stress and parenting issues. I also specialize with clients who identify as highly sensitive.
