Hi!
Thanks for checking out my profile.
With over 20 years of experience as a counselor, my goal is to help kids, tweens, teens, and adults overcome the many obstacles in life, including:
- Healing from abuse
- Relieving stress
- Relieving anxiety and depression
- Adapting to unplanned transitions, or gaining the courage to change one’s life
- Living a good life with chronic pain or illness
- Career and educational issues
- Parenting issues, including having children with special needs.
What happens in a counseling session with me? First, you will be given a chance to tell your story, both the good and bad, in a confidential, judgment-free setting. Then you will work together to build a better quality of life using a variety of holistic coping and healing exercises, stress management tools, and therapeutic conversations.
