If you are experiencing feelings/emotions which trouble you and you want to overcome them, reach out to me! I have over 23 years of experience helping children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families lead healthier and more rewarding lives. I empower clients from a wide range of backgrounds, including many with special needs, by helping them build self-awareness, identify their challenges, and gain the tools to regain confidence and purpose in their lives. My skills and expertise can help you tackle your emotional, behavioral, or professional challenges, strengthen your innate abilities, and help you achieve your goals.
Using an individualized approach, I tailor the therapy and techniques to suit your specific needs. I specialize in working with the emotionally disturbed and helping them to regain control. My specialties include mood disorders, relationship counseling, individual, adolescent and family counseling, career counseling, and diverse, multicultural clients.
I am caring, knowledgeable, experienced, non-judgmental and provide a safe and trusting environment for you to stabilize and heal. Tell me how can I help you improve your well-being? For further details, please visit my website: https://www.southmountaintherapy.com
