How I Help

I provide a warm and kind environment where you can safely identify and explore those issues that may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. Together, we will tackle unhelpful thinking patterns, find buried and under-utilized strengths, focus on problem-solving and growth, strengthen connections with others, and ultimately rediscover ourselves through learning new things and viewing ourselves in newer and healthier ways.
