About My Clients

It’s the beginning of the week. You might be thinking “Why do I feel so sad? Why do I feel anxious? Why did I have difficulty sleeping?” Do you feel like you aren’t living your most authentic life.. This has been a challenging year. Maybe your job is not fulfilling or maybe you’ve experienced so many losses. When we scratch the surface of sadness and anxiety, we find unresolved grief. I have the tools to help you mourn your losses and feel a renewed zest for life.

My Background and Approach

I have been a therapist for 30 plus years. I am experienced in clinical hypnotherapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will teach you mindfulness skills that will help you cope with the present. I will give you skills to help you cope with the death of your loved ones. But most of all I will listen without judgement. I have been witness to many people's grief. Grief that comes from trauma.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are habits that once worked but are no longer working for us.. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Throughout my life, close friends and family have died. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my grief and sadness so that it didn't have control over me. I don't discriminate against anyone. I am part of the LGBTQ community. I believe that Black Lives Matter because they haven't mattered for so long. Ancestral Trauma, especially from slavery and racism, effect the issues you are experiencing and the issues our communities are dealing with. If you want to learn more about how I can help, please send me a message.
