I utilize "eclectic/integrated" approaches for clients in need of life change. Some of my specialties include: life coaching, marriage/couple & family therapy, anger/career management, depression, anxiety and PTSD. We provide a safe, trusted & confidential client environment. I help clients improve their stress management, coping skills, work-life balance and emotional stability. Many desire "inner healing" from life crisis situations. I also guide clients seeking direction, transformation and accountability by helping them to self-discover their core values, destiny, life purpose, sense of worth, creativity and untapped potential.
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family or daily life stressors. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
