Call me if you are looking to experience your life more fully and positively. It is a normal experience to find ourselves at a crossroad and feel unsure as to what the next step is. You've already taken that step! By seeking answers, you are already opening doors within yourself which can lead to clarity, confidence and peace. With over 25 years of experience in the counseling field, I can help you increase self awareness and discover new ways of being. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults.
I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, attention problems, relationship issues as well as other emotional challenges which relate to self esteem and self empowerment. I maintain a deep respect for where you are in your life journey, acknowledging your strengths and your inherent desire to grow.
As we work together, I can help you assess your current situation with an eye toward gaining a greater understanding of yourself. I will help you learn skills and strategies for immediate relief but also address underlying issues, while building self confidence, increasing self esteem and improving social and family relationships.
