Are you overwhelmed with life, going through a set of difficult circumstances or the darkness of depression? Are you struggling to communicate in your relationships? Has your ANXIETY become debilitating? Are you feeling completely stressed out with life today? I offer a safe, supportive and comfortable environment where you can express feelings without judgment, share your personal experiences without fear or shame and discover hope. You'll find relief from the physical symptoms, distorted thoughts and emotional rollercoaster. We'll work together to identify issues and create solutions to cope and thrive despite life's challenges.
Have you experienced a deep LOSS? The death of a loved one or a beloved pet, a miscarriage, loss of a job or a home, a failed relationship, a severe injury, a debilitating illness, an unfulfilled or unattained dream. I'll help you navigate the emotional journey through the stages of GRIEF to heal the hurt and anger and find a sense of purpose in life again.
Need solutions for your CHILD/TEEN? As a licensed school counselor, former teacher & child advocate, I've worked with children, teens and families to support, guide and facilitate positive changes in their lives. I treat: ADHD, anxiety & phobias, bullying, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, OCD, self-esteem, self-injury, and social skills.
