Feeling overwhelmed, disempowered, or lost? Struggling with communication? It can be tough to handle these challenges alone. That's where I come in. I help teens, adults, and couples navigate through these issues, bringing awareness, insight, growth, and coping skills to the table. Together, we'll unpack and make sense of the underlying issues, so you can find meaningful ways to address what stands in your way.
My clients know themselves best. As they speak, I listen, reflect back, and partner with them in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences more deeply. Together, we collaborate to uncover insights, identify patterns, and develop strategies that foster in them greater self-awareness, empowerment, and self-acceptance.
My approach is relational and collaborative, with a blend of humor, warmth, and directness. If you’re interested in learning more about me and how I work, I encourage you to reach out or visit my website. If you have questions or want to discuss working with me, schedule a consultation, and let’s talk.
