Are you having difficulty with life circumstances, relationships, or your own emotions and reactions? Are some things tough to navigate with familiar ways of coping? Perhaps you're longing for a fresh perspective but needing space to sort out the subtle nuances. I offer a supportive listening environment that promotes safety, freedom of expression, compassion, and new possibilities. Together, we identify ways to recognize repeating patterns and reorient approaches. In this process, I seek to incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection, recognizing that each person is multifaceted, unique, wonderful, and full of potential.
I work with adults and adolescents who face distress, within themselves and with others, from life events. Sessions include opportunities to creatively and holistically address symptoms of depression and anxiety, work through trauma, grief and loss, and develop strong coping strategies (mental, physical, and spiritual) to move forward with hope.
Finding a therapist who is a good fit takes thoughtful consideration. I offer a free phone consultation to discuss any questions you might have as you consider working with me. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact me.
