Please note that my practice is at capacity at this time. I specialize in working with high school age teens and adult women, using warmth and humor to build authentic connection. If anxiety and sadness are interfering with your life and relationships, you're battling an intrusive inner critic, or having a hard time finding your voice or direction, I can help. A supportive, non-biased therapeutic relationship is a major key in achieving positive change.
My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, and I bring in mindfulness and the mind/body connection. I have specialized training in trauma and anxiety treatment. Sessions are informal and relaxed, as I take the time to learn about you and what's important to you. I sometimes bring in creative methods, which can help when it's hard to find words.
I understand that if you're already feeling vulnerable, trying to find someone to talk to can be overwhelming. I encourage you to make that call. Imagine feeling calm, validated, and connected, and discovering your "inner pilot light"—your own wisdom (it’s there!). Email and we'll chat! This is your time!
