Many clients come to me depressed, grief stricken, or at a loss for where to proceed in their lives. Faulty thinking can block the ability to realize new options for thoughts and behaviors. Training, wisdom, and life experiences allow me to help guide my clients to their best therapeutic path, to personalize treatment, and to help them find their purpose. I work with trauma survivors, people with disabilities, life transitions, crises, hospice care, death, and chronic anxiety. I'm also trained to support artists through their creative struggles. That process provides them the foundation to strengthen them for any future challenges.
I am an empathic guide helping clients move beyond their negative thoughts, feelings, and habits that can keep them stuck in pain from their past. These traumas can permeate every aspect of life and can control us and create intense suffering. Therapy can be a poignant beginning to launching new behaviors and opportunities as well as healthier life choices.
Everyone can improve their life and I want to be there for that excursion. I work at your pace and your readiness to move forward to a kinder more fulfilling place. It's often hard to imagine an exciting and successful future when you feel mired in pain & suffering. I can help you realize all of your new possibilities which can become powerful motivators.
