Specialty Areas: Women’s issues, Grief, Sleep issues, Loneliness

Virtual Appointments

Often a question asked prior to counseling is, am I thriving or simply surviving? Individuals question their life path and need help to figure out where to start exploring. We work together to identify strengths, areas of growth, and both are used to help cultivate a fulfilling life experience. Clients may feel there is a mismatch between their head and hearts so we also work to connect them which in-turn causes less uncertainty and confusion in life choices.

My clients range in age from teenagers through adulthood and are often going through life transitions. Transitions such as relationships, challenging family dynamics, identity crisis, trauma, career, abuse, divorce, loss, and grief. Often my client suffer from depression, anxiety, panic symptoms, confusion, sleep issues, and loneliness.

In practice I incorporate a variety of therapeutic methods that are unique to each client and my overarching desire is for you to become highly self-aware, learn, heal, and grow. This method helps you identify and release what no longer serves you and contributes in creating a life of peace and fulfillment.
