About
Sometimes in life we just want to be seen and heard by a compassionate and non-judgmental person - someone who listens in a way that makes us feel visible, valued and validated. I create a space where this happens for my clients, fully believing this enables healing from the past, freedom to live in the present and a strong sense of empowerment to reinvent yourself and create the future you desire. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, or trauma, I am here for you. Or, you may need of a life coach to assist you in gaining clarity and direction so that you reach your highest potential. I have a passion for connecting with those seeking professional help, whether it's for emotional support & guidance in healing from loss, managing stress, life transitions & relationships or gaining tools, strategies & motivation for reaching goals and living a more fulfilling life. My approach is warm and compassionate offering emotional safety and trust. I know how hard it is taking that first step to reach out and make an appointment. It can feel scary because you don’t know if you’re ready for change, what to expect or maybe even wonder if it’s worth it. This is why I offer a 15 min. complimentary consultation to see if we’re a good fit and to answer any questions to put you at ease. Credentials & Experience: Over 35 years combined experience in providing individual, family & group therapy in various settings to a wide range of populations. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am a Board Certified Coach and offer life coaching services in addition to therapy.
