My clients often come to me with life transition issues (teens, parenting challenges, relationship issues, major life events, trauma) and are experiencing a loss of identity, lack of direction and symptoms of pervasive anxiety . Together we explore with compassion for the journey to this point, identifying the life worth living and develop a cohesive treatment plan to meet those goals. Through peeling back layers of an onion, we tackle areas of trauma, hurt, shame as we grow empathy for self and tools to start actively changing the cycle of pain. My proudest moment is when a client is able to step down in treatment as goals are met. Through humor, coaching, and skills-based therapy I offer a proactive and direct relationship with my clients. I enjoy making my client the center of treatment and work to ensure that they are an expert of how they think, feel and react to align with their best self. I enjoy clients of all ages and stages, including couples and family therapy as well. Reaching out for an appt and making it to the first session is the hardest part I promise! Everyone is deserving of living a life that brings them joy, contentment and control. Our mental health needs to be of equal importance to our physical, and they are so connected! Being brave is the first step in changing our lives for the better. You deserve it.
