Life can be challenging and it may be difficult trying to manage it alone. Not everyone has someone safe to talk to without judgement or experiencing shame and/or guilt. Do you have a specific issue you want to tackle? Are you experiencing patterns you just want to break free from? Having someone to explore the origins of your struggles/challenges can be liberating. Do you need life skills, communication skills, strategies to manage your mind, mood management techniques to make life more manageable? Being human isn't easy and having someone to process with you w/unconditional regard and acceptance can be freeing and life changing.
I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, couples and families. I love working with a Holistic perspective identifying the connection and influences of our Mind, Body and Spirit. I can assist with reducing stress, reducing trauma responses, managing your thoughts, finding resolution with conflicts with others and finding hope.
Lets talk and determine if you and I are a good fit. Then we can move forward and begin to explore, tackle and transcend the challenges you are experiencing. Currently I am providing services via TeleHealth (Video) and Phone only. Sorry, no-In-person sessions at this time due to Covid.
