My apologies but I am NOT Accepting Clients and I do not have a waitlist. I am taking a sabbatical in order to address my own health and hope you find the right counselor for your needs! Own your story. I specialize in working with women who have experienced trauma, grief, difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem and are ready to take charge of their life narrative. Trust, authenticity, and vulnerability are vital components of the therapeutic process and I work hard to establish and maintain those values with clients.
My heart for my clients is that they would feel the safety My counseling practices are informed and evidence based. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Grief-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I draw from Family Systems theory and implement Developmental Psychology in my practice.
My counseling style is heartfelt and respectful, yet candid and direct. If you're in a place where you're ready to get unstuck and address areas of pain in your life, you will be met with empathy, respect, and hope.
