SPECIALTIES
DEPRESSION
Working with individuals struggling with depression, I provide a warm and empathetic space where clients can process the weight of their pain. Client's are able to develop coping skills and regain a sense of power and purpose in their lives. In building a sense of meaning and deeper connection to self, client's can hold hope again.
ANXIETY
GRIEF AND LOSS
Specializing in anxiety therapy, I work with individuals to understand and manage their anxious symptoms. I provide a nurturing and empowering environment where clients can develop and implement coping strategies, reduce anxiety, and improve their overall well-being.
Grief can encompass the loss of a loved one, job loss, divorce, death of a pet, breakup, and much more. Along with tremendous pain, sadness, and anger, client's may also experience the fear to move forward. By providing an environment focused on emotional safety, client's are able to process their feelings and integrate the loss into their lives in order to create new meaning.
