Life can be challenging at times. Most of us can relate with that. It is not uncommon for people to have challenges managing their emotions, coping with stress, recovering from loss or major transitions, building/maintaining relationships or using substances. I am passionate about helping young and older adults, teens, couples and families learn to cope and thrive in those circumstances.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress or grief, have unhealthy coping habits such as substance abuse or self-harm, or have feelings of helplessness, I want you to know that there is hope. While we cannot change the pain in our past, or the genetics we are born with, we can learn to change the way we respond and react to our feelings and triggers; in order to give them less power and control in our lives.
Learning about your unique experiences, needs and goals, and responding with caring and empathy, I will walk with you in exploring the barriers that you feel are hindering you, and provide therapeutic support, counseling and proven tools to help you acheive your goals.
