WHO I SEE Individuals who seek my treatment services are seeking to grow in personal insight, better understand themselves and those they love, and address current challenges, and/or past wounds and hurts that may be getting in the way of living their healthiest lives. I see clients who are undergoing a broad range of challenges such as adjusting to life transitions and navigating the mental health challenges of everyday life. Common challenges I assist clients with are interpersonal relations at home or work, general stress and anxiety, overcoming barriers to achieving personal and relational goals, struggling with overindulgence, managing the stressor of family relationships, substance misuse/addiction recovery, disordered eating patterns, general anxiety/stress management, depression, boundaries in relationships, self-discovery/insight seeking, family-related issues, grief/loss recovery, and pre-marriage/dating/committed relationship preparations and concerns. MY APPROACH I believe people have the ability to grow and heal even in the midst of tremendous stress, transition, or crisis-recovery. I emphasize the importance of building and maintaining support, self-care, grace, and self-compassion during difficult seasons of development and change. I am amazed to be witness to the courage and strength of those I work with.
