Whatever is leading you to seek support, I welcome a discussion to learn more about you, and I'll be transparent about my ability to be helpful. I am experienced helping clients with anxiety and mood problems, life transitions, relationship conflict, career/work challenges, and healing from past trauma. As a Certified Yoga Instructor, I am also experienced in somatic therapies and improving one's relationship with their body. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, creative, and hopeful approach that is conducive to self-exploration, and I help clients leverage their innate strengths and wisdom to create lasting change.
My approach is warm, pragmatic, and solution-focused. I have a wide breadth of clinical experience with a variety of clients and have overseen the training of graduate students in counseling and psychology as a training director, clinical supervisor, and graduate-level instructor.
If you think we might be a good fit, call or email to schedule a free phone or video consultation. I'd love to learn more about your goals and what you are looking for in a therapist. I think you'll find our initial conversation helpful and a good start.
