About Me

It is my practice, to encourage each client to discover their own inner resources and strengths while gaining personal empowerment. Whether you seek recovery from trauma, depression or anxiety, I will provide you the tools and skills to enhance your self-esteem, develop relationships and establish healthy boundaries and communication. As you learn to cope with life transitions and changes, we will incorporate mindfulness-based techniques, and challenge maladaptive thoughts and beliefs. By approaching solutions to engage stressful situations, you will reduce emotional suffering. While on your journey, I will help you develop increased awareness and acceptance while developing a plan to allow you to live life in alignment with what is most important to you.
