Philosophy of Care

Are you a working professional feeling stressed or overwhelmed due to changes at your job or home? Are you feeling grief or trauma over losing loved ones, employment, or lifestyles and struggling to move forward? Do you feel like you are constantly setting goals you're unable to achieve? Life can be unpredictable and uncontrollable at times leading us to feel stuck and sometimes shifting our perspectives and focusing on the things we can change or learning healthy ways to cope can help us move forward.

I specialize in working with people who experience anxiety, stress and feelings of grief and loss due to transitions in their lives. I provide individual counseling to adults and young adults struggling to find stability utilizing a person-centered and trauma-informed approach.

I offer evening appointments for weekly, biweekly or monthly meetings to help you meet your scheduling needs around your work week. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary phone consultation or any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.
