I help people with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, lack of purpose or meaning, addiction &/or alcoholism and many other challenges. I use my knowledge and experience combined with empathy and compassion to support your therapeutic journey. I want to help you better understand yourself, develop coping skills for improved daily living and healthier relationships, and achieve a greater sense of inner peace. I use holistic techniques and client-centered therapy to support you in finding self-awareness, self-compassion, and balance, all of which are keys to the growth and healing process.
I also work with people who need help with stress management, mood disturbances, or who have challenges with relationships and intimacy. I am experienced in treating alcohol and/or substance use, issues around sexuality (I am LGBTQIA friendly), grief and loss, stage-of-life transitions, and self-esteem.
You owe yourself the gift of therapy. I hope you will consider me to help you in your journey of self-discovery and healing. I offer a free 10-minute phone consult to see if you think we are a good match. I hope to hear from you.
