Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Congratulations on taking the first step toward a major life change! The decision to begin counseling is an immense gesture of self love and courage. Finding the right fit is so important to the therapeutic process. Whatever brings you here - the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, troubling relationship patterns, chronic illness or pain, or feeling stuck and confused about the future - will be explored with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. Things can feel easier, when explored without shame or judgment. I believe that we all have the innate ability to heal with the right connection and understanding.
My specialties include grief and loss, health psychology for chronic illness, mind/body and experiential treatment of chronic pain and physical symptoms, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and experiential, curious and compassionate, always with the goal of accessing your own inner resources for healing.
We all go through difficult times, and are often given well-intentioned, yet damaging messages about how to move forward. Reaching out for support takes great vulnerability and courage. The right environment of openness and acceptance can lead to relief and hope. I look forward to your call for a free phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
