Do you need support and guidance to help you navigate life transitions, divorce, job changes, grief, and listening without judgment? Do you need some skills to cope with these life changes? We all can find happiness in our lives, and each person has unique gifts and abilities to help them achieve that goal. My passion (and purpose) is to help my clients realize these gifts, discover their authentic selves, and learn to navigate the day-to-day challenges of living in this ever-changing world. Increasing self-awareness, learning coping skills, and communicating feelings can lead to positive change and meaningful relationships.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, providing services to adults, children, and families. I have worked in various public settings with a specialized focus on (but not limited to): Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Trauma, parenting and relationship issues, sexual orientation, grief /loss.
As a clinician, I provide a safe space to explore your reasons for seeking therapy and help bring out the strengths and resources that already exist inside you to further your life satisfaction. Taking that first step is the beginning of a healing and expansive journey. Together, we can help you get from where you are to where you want to be at your pace.
