Get To Know Me
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I believe that you have what it takes to heal.
You might be feeling overwhelmed by inner conflict to the point where clarity feels out of reach. I understand how difficult it can be to seek help if you struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck. Sessions with me focus on achieving your goals to grow your tolerance of stress, reduce compulsive behaviors that don’t align with your values, and foster resilience. By gaining coping skills and self-compassion, you can transform inner conflict into strength.
I would love to provide you with an accepting presence as you journey toward confidence and clarity.
