I work with adults with a wide variety goals aimed at addressing their mental, emotional and physical health needs. Clients are often struggling with depression, anxiety and a general feeling of being overwhelmed. I also focus on clients who are seeking to improve their physical health and help them to do the mental and behavioral work necessary to change their eating habits, lose weight and improve their health.
In working with clients to achieve their goals I have learned how linked our mental and emotional health are to our physical health. In order to find relief and growth we often need to address all three aspects together. With this knowledge, making small changes leads to success. I love watching clients find relief and achieve their goals.
As humans, we all have our own battles we fight. By sharing our stories with someone who will listen without judgment and offer insight and support we can find relief from the pain we carry. I look forward to working with you to find healing and relief.
