I have a deep commitment to helping people thrive. Stengthening the psyches of women and girls has been a primary focus of my work as a therapist, assertiveness instructor & educator. Relationships shape our well being. Learning to feel more confident and connected is a goal therapy can help achieve. I work with individuals, couples- adults and teens. Do you want to improve self esteem? Is your relationship in need of repair? Perhaps a trauma has left you feeling scared and alone. Various experiences bring folks to counseling: low confidence, abuse, breakups/divorce, anxiety, gender issues, hurtful childhoods, addiction...Obtaining help is a sign of strength. Years ago while teaching women self defense I discovered important components of healing. I believe that key to many issues is an awareness of our boundaries, the skills to set limits and the development of assertiveness. When we honor our integrity and self respect we create internal courage. Connections become easier and more healthy. I have an eclectic approach. I will hear you and help sort out the root of your concerns, using methodologies that best match the issue and you. If you have engaged in therapy before or have never sought out help, you deserve an experienced clinician with a comforting style and empathic respect.
