About My Clients

Do you struggle with feeling anxious, sad and disconnected? Are you second-guessing things you say or do? Are your emotions affecting how your view life? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are suppose to manage everything in their lives. I believe life shouldn't feel so hard and there are ways to feel happier, more confident and connected.

My Background and Approach

I have over 20 years of experience specializing in depression, anxiety and self esteem work with adolescents and adults. I use an integrated approach with a Cognitive Behavioral focus. I strive to create a safe environment where my clients feel comfortable being open and honest. I incorporate warmth, humor and honest feedback into my work. We will start by understanding where you are now and the struggles you are facing. We will work together to come up with a plan to move forward and celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive and safe environment where you will feel comfortable being open and honest. Helping people make changes to feel happier and more confident is my passion! It may mean learning to set boundaries, changing thought patterns, learning to manage emotions or improving communication skills. Whatever the path, my goal is to help you live a happier, more fulfilled life.
