Sometimes everyone needs someone to talk to. Someone who can provide an empathetic ear and a new perspective on life events and stressors. Individuals need guidance to learn new coping skills and methods to improve their quality of life. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression and looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist, you have found her. If you are looking to increase your independence, self-esteem, self-compassion, and motivation, I am here for you. Everyone can become overwhelmed at times and find it difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you are ready, I am ready to help you find that light and break free from the tunnel.
My approach is client centered. I believe that everyone can overcome any life challenge. I offer a solution-focused approach to help individuals find a way out of their struggles. I specialize in motivational interviewing, narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapies. We will strive to change any unhealthy thinking patterns with healing as the objective.
I would love to be a part of your journey into healing. I look forward to hearing from you.
