It is possible to feel less anxious, depressed and stressed. I pride myself in creating a safe, caring environment that allows my client to feel heard and validated. I will help you find your path toward growth, change and happiness. If you feel too anxious, not happy enough, are having trouble with a big decision, I can help. I have been a practicing clinician for over 25 years seeing clients and supervising clinicians.
I utilize a combination of mindfulness practices and changing unhelpful habitual thinking to help you feel less anxious and improve your mood. I have worked extensively helping people reduce the anxiety they feel and finding healthy coping strategies to improve their lives.
I know that within each of us, we have the power and ability to create the change we need in our lives, however sometimes discovering that power or identifying that change requires support and guidance.
