Specializing in Mental Health Support
Abuse/Trauma
Anger
Anxiety
Dealing with trauma requires sensitivity and understanding. I am committed to supporting you in processing your experiences, healing from trauma, and reclaiming a sense of strength and resilience in your life.
My goal is to help you reduce your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid the things or people that enrage you, nor can you change them; however, you can learn to control your reactions.
I am dedicated to providing personalized support for individuals dealing with anxiety. Through a compassionate and tailored approach, I aim to help you understand and manage your anxiety, leading to a more balanced and peaceful life.
Depression
Depression can be a challenging experience, and I am here to offer empathetic support and effective strategies to help you navigate through this difficult time. Together, we can work towards achieving emotional wellness and a sense of hope for the future.
Growth & Development
This is the corner stone of my work. Each person comes with goals that one way or another lead to personal growth and development; some are deep troubles, most are not. Yet, each person identifies areas of needed or desired change. Many are seeking greater life satisfaction and happiness. Most want to be loved and to learn how to love themselves and others more completely.
Loss/Grief
I have worked with grief recovery in a variety of situations, including the loss of furbabies. I'll assist you with healthy grieving techniques and clearing unfinished "business," which continues to interfere in your every day quality of life.
Marital/Relationship
Healthy and fulfilling relationships are essential for overall well-being. I offer guidance and support to individuals and couples seeking to enhance their communication, strengthen their bond, and address challenges within their relationships.
Stress
I draw from a wide range of techniques designed to give each person tools they can draw upon for stress management and greater inner peace. The goal is to find tools that are a fit for each unique personality and life style resulting in each individual being able to draw upon themselves as the best resource available for healthy, healing choices in the overall goal of self care.
Spirituality
At the client's suggestion or shared awareness, I will explore your desire to develop your personal spirituality and support your journey of discovering and deepening the spiritual aspect of your being. Spiritual coaching is basic supportive coaching for the individual's belief and value system; support of the essence of the person and facilitation of spiritual growth.
