Do you experience the effects of low self-esteem, trauma, identity issues, grief, and personal growth? I support my client through significant life transitions like marriage and divorce, address common relationship issues, guide you through the complexities of parenting, and empower you during your transition to adulthood. We can openly and safely explore your spirituality, identity, and sexuality. Together, we'll embark on a journey of profound change and lasting growth toward elevated hope, self-esteem, self-compassion, and self-efficacy while challenging negative thinking.
Are you in a life transition, such as dating, marriage, divorce, or exploring relationship issues, sexuality, spirituality, and self-discovery? My practice is eclectic and uniquely tailored to you. I focus on easing mental pain while you regain resilience to become empowered and motivated. We'll explore your deepest concerns without judgment and safely.
I genuinely care about your empowerment, well-being, and journey towards change. Your feelings may seem complex or challenging, but they're valid. Reaching out for therapy is a significant step. I want you to feel safe and supported in this process. My unbiased perspective offers a safe space for expression of your story, your struggles, and your experience
