Counseling may take different forms depending on whether you’re dealing with a significant life transition, loss, or have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety. As a strengths-based counselor, I believe we have an inner compass that can guide us, with support, toward positive change. Bringing years of coaching experience to counseling, I hold a safe place for you to explore your internal life as well as your natural ability to shine in activities and relationships. Positive connection with others is how we discover---or rediscover---a place of safety and wholeness in our lives.
My personal and professional background is in wellness---physical, spiritual and mental. With compassionate intuition, we acknowledge what is healthy and wise, then amplify it and use it to shed light on other parts of yourself that want to be heard. As we listen deeply to your unique experience, we will explore and transform patterns that no longer serve.
Your soul’s longing will help determine the direction we take in counseling. As you begin to consider what it is you want for yourself, I invite you to contact me for a for a free phone consultation. I have openings right now for individuals and couples.
