My Approach to Helping

Do you feel sad, misunderstood, empty, stressed, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed? Do you wonder if you are on the right path? I help clients cope with challenges, strengthen relationships, recover from trauma, improve life functioning, connect with their values, and reach their potential. Depression, anxiety, uncertainty, substance abuse, self-esteem, eating disorders, and interpersonal turmoil can get in the way. I will listen to your unique situation and help you move through problems to reduce uncomfortable feelings and explore life’s possibilities.
