About My Clients

Feeling alone or powerless? Struggling with the unexpected? Life is often unpredictable with its peaks and valleys, and it’s only human to feel lost or overwhelmed at times. Having a guiding hand to help make sense of it all can give us the tools and direction we need to not only survive, but thrive.

My Background and Approach

Having been in the field for over 3 years, I have walked alongside clients through a variety of life experiences including stress, anxiety, questions of existence, trauma, and sexual issues of concern. Harnessing the power of perspective and it’s impact on our feelings and behavior is a cornerstone of my practice. The mind-body connection can be a powerful mode of healing, and together we will create a toolbox of coping skills unique to you. Together we will explore grounding skills, thought challenging, and ways to improve self-talk. One size never fits all. You are the expert in your own life, and I believe in a person-centered approach as the foundation of our partnership. In our work together, you will be in the driver’s seat, with things moving at the pace you’re most comfortable.
