***I have only a few daytime openings at this time. Please EMAIL me for current availability*** I believe that people already have the tools within themselves to succeed, find their inner peace & live up to their potential; I am simply here to assist in that journey. Whether it be to gain insight, learn coping skills to manage trauma, seek support over a loss or simply to feel more "comfortable" in your own skin; all you need is the willingness to take the first step and I will be there to take the rest with you.
Through my experience in human services working w/ adults, adolescents, families and in corrections, for the past 20 years I have been fortunate enough to have worked with such diverse groups of people and individuals. I have a strong background & focus in trauma, substance abuse, grief & resiliency and my treatment is always Strengths-based.
"Mindfulness": a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. This is the basis of my practice. In addition, I use mindfulness as an underlying thread while utilizing other focused-based therapies, such as CBT; our thoughts create our reality
