About Me
You can heal. I can help.
If you are ready to feel better, I am here to help! I provide the necessary structure and support so you can heal (body, mind, spirit) and thrive in your life like never before.
I see business professionals, medical professionals, attorneys, teachers, musicians, entertainment industry pros, active military service members, military vets, stay-at-home moms, and other therapists, just to name a few.
I am conventionally trained in the "medical model" so my holistic perspective came a bit later, in the last 5 years. I enjoy partnering with clients and getting to the "root cause" of issues and identify what it takes to effectively resolve them.
What can therapy help with?
-
Understanding the root cause of the depression and/or anxiety you're experiencing
-
Creating an action plan with new strategies for handling difficult situations and relationships
-
Learning and practicing assertive communication to increase self empowerment and reduce/prevent depression
-
Improving your healthy coping skills for successfully dealing with life challenges
