About My Clients

Clients describe me as a calming presence that helps them feel grounded. I have even been known to teach mindfulness strategies during our session. I help those struggling with alcohol or substance abuse, anger management, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, general stress, and trauma/PTSD.

My Background and Approach

Many adults feel anxious and stressed when trying to reach their personal and career goals all while trying to balance the daily demands. Ignoring these feelings can take a toll on your mind and body. I take a mindful approach to help clients develop a sense of joy and peace. Being present is the most powerful tool I have found to help me and my clients.
