I listen deeply and without assumptions or judgment, seeking to fully understand your concerns, feelings and life experiences. My first goal is for you to feel accurately seen and heard, so that you feel safe, understood and valued. Together we will create a healing relationship, that is completely confidential.
I will give you a space to think out loud and speak freely so that together we can explore your thoughts and feelings and identify ways to relieve anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, so that you can find strength and courage to live your best life.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary initial consultation. This will give you an opportunity to describe the concerns you are facing, your goals for therapy, and to learn more about how I work and to see if you think that working with me would feel right for you.
