Accepting New Clients: "Life is a journey...Everyone needs a guide sometimes". Therapy is a a process where we work to uncover the conflicts in our lives and create the awareness to change our behaviors, Do you have a relationship that you are struggling with? or feeling angry and want to learn how to go with the flow? There are a lot of factors that create stress in our lives some we can't control but we can learn how to cope with it and change the things we do have control over. Together, we will determine your goals and explore the possible strategies that will help you feel successful on your journey.
I specialize working with teens, adults and couples on issues ranging from managing stress and anxiety, grief, marital discord, parenting issues and low self esteem. I teach clients to learn self awareness strategies like mindfulness techniques and communication tools to support relationships and changing our thoughts, feelings to improve behaviors.
Things feel harder than ever these days and many of us have had to really dig deep to find happiness lately. Therapy is a relationship that is built on trust, let me help guide you through these challenging times. I don't promise to have all the answers but I promise to work with you in finding your sense of peace on this journey.
