What is it like being in a counseling session with me?
Working from a holistic perspective, I guide my clients as we explore the various factors that may be impacting their mental health. By integrating different techniques and approaches, I develop customized treatment plans to fit each client’s individual needs and goals.
What is my area of expertise?
I specialize in supporting women who are struggling with the impacts of stress, trauma, and grief. When stress is ongoing or traumatic, it can lead to addiction, anxiety, chronic illness, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder
While the focus will be on you, here are a few things to get to know me:
