Do you find it difficult to understand and manage your emotions? Are you often hard and critical towards yourself? Do you feel as though your past experiences are holding you back? Do you feel hopeless or stuck, wondering what the next steps are? If this sounds like you, then I am confident we can work together so that you can begin living the life you want to live, work through life’s challenges, and heal your relationships with yourself and others. Change and healing ARE possible. The first step is having the courage to reach out and not face life’s challenges alone.
I strive to honor each individual’s uniqueness and recognize that different approaches will work for different people. I utilize a trauma-informed and holistic lens. I gravitate towards cognitive-behavioral, gestalt, and narrative modalities.
Together we will find the right approach to help you reach your goals. If I sound like a good fit for you and your needs, please reach out for a free phone consultation.
