About My Clients

I'm so glad you are here. It's difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause anxiety, depression & self-doubt. My goal is to provide a safe & compassionate place where counseling clients can get encouragement & support as they navigate through the challenges of life. Whether it is Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Self-esteem, Loneliness, Personal Growth or Relationship Issues, Trauma or PTSD, feeling heard is vital. I want you to feel heard so you can find peace in your life.

My Background and Approach

There are many different reasons for seeking counseling you may be experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD and overwhelm I can help you to: •Identify and change negative/distorted/automatic thoughts that cause depressed and anxious feelings •Develop awareness of triggers and stressors •Acknowledge, discuss and understand “scary thoughts” (intrusive thoughts) (80% – 100% of the population experience intrusive thoughts) •Develop and learn to use healthy coping skills •Explore and process feelings of helplessness, guilt, anger, shame •Learn to remove judgment about your symptoms and know that they are symptoms not who you are •Learn to express your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment •Utilize self-care and ask for what you need •Identify your strengths and support network •Identify additional therapies for support •Begin to feel like yourself again

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

“The only constant in life is change”-Heraclitus. We face change every day & we all respond to change differently. And, believe it or not, we all have the innate capacity to create change in our lives. I want you to feel heard so you can find peace in your life and create the change you need. Be heard, get seen. Express yourself. Share your perspective & explore your experiences with a licensed, trained clinical therapist, nurse & health coach who will offer empathic presence & genuine feedback.
