**I am doing telehealth and in person appointments. When you are faced with challenges, conflicts and loss, it can be difficult to overcome on your own. I believe we all have the strength and knowledge inside of us, we just need a little help finding it, and we all need someone with whom we can express ourselves. Life challenges can bring us to a place where support from a neutral and caring professional can make a needed difference. Counseling can help you get to a place of recovery, peace and empowerment.

My approach to talk therapy involves a focus on interpersonal connection and addressing the physical, mental, and social vulnerabilities of my clients. Through introspective and insight-oriented therapy, individuals can gain a clearer understanding of themselves and those around them. In addition, I acknowledge and take into account the influence of cultural and spiritual beliefs, social roles, and personal relationships on mental health. By recognizing and considering these factors, we can better address issues related to depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

**Accepting new clients** Strong people ask for help, knowing that everybody has a story and within each of us lies the ability to examine the past so we can move into the future. I encourage you to ask yourself not "what's wrong with me ?" but rather, "what happened to me?" Stop thinking "I need therapy" and start focusing on "I want therapy." Therapy is not about mental illness - it's about mental health. Focus on the fact that therapy is an experience that is normal, natural and a journey others have navigated. Life presents all of us with challenges but if we meet the challange and learn from it then we also grow from it.
