10 years offering treatment
With a background in Psychology, Gerontology, and Social Work, I specialize in providing psychotherapy for families, individuals and more mature populations. I have supported people with and through PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, end-of-life, chronic illnesses, medical conditions, personality disorders, intimate betrayal, and more. Being mindful of individual differences, I provide a safe environment that is welcoming and peaceful for all clients. In a non-judgmental approach, through exploration in life review, we will identify areas of repeated undesirable patterns that are negatively impacting your own functioning and others. Together, we’ll work on developing a better understanding of how the area of concern is impacting your life. We’ll build knowledge about how it impacts you physiologically and emotionally and then develop ways to help you with it. With a calming presence, I’ll be there to support you through your journey of life.
