You are strong and courageous to not only acknowledge that change is needed but to take the steps to achieve it. Change is hard, especially when you are uncertain of who to trust to walk with you through the process. I believe that everyone has the ability to make changes if only they are provided with a nurturing and empowering environment that fosters strengths, passions and builds hope for the future. You deserve to be heard, understood and acknowledged while expecting a therapist who is honest, genuine, comfortable sharing observations and insights and challenges exploration and growth with compassion and without judgement.
You may be thinking "what if therapy doesn't help" or "no one will understand me" or "I don't know how therapy could possibly change my situation". I am here to help and consider it an honor to be a part of your journey. With over 20 years of experience, I use an integrative approach that takes into account each individual's unique needs.
I believe in creatively leveraging strengths to promote growth. We will collaborate to learn new ways to cope with life and grief and create the change you are seeking. I work with adolescents and adults with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, including traumatic grief. I am a Certified Master ART Practitioner and a CCTP.
