Thank you for your time. Looking for a therapist is not an easy task and can feel very overwhelming. I understand the courage it takes to reach out and make a call. Maybe you are struggling with unexpected life events or just everyday challenges that interfere with you being you. Counseling sessions are "your time" and together we will find ways to untangle whatever it is you are struggling with. I use an eclectic style in my practice that focuses on your strength and resiliency.
I specialize in helping clients, and their caregivers, who are coping with medical issues, serious illness or chronic disease. I work closely with clients making end-of-life-decisions and encourage open discussion about their goals of care.
I believe that the therapuetic relationship is key to your success in the therapy process. You already have the skills to improve your situation. You always did. I am here to help navigate you there.
