Hi There
If you are seeking a warm, down to earth therapist who’s good at what she does, you may find me to be a good fit. I am someone who "gets" stuff like difficult relationships, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and family (did someone say, the true "f" word?) dynamics from day one. There is no fear of judgement or condemnation with me. Only support for finding authentic happiness, defined by you--and infinite patience and understanding for the many obstacles that get in the way. I've helped myself. I've helped countless others. And, I can help you, too. As my client, you will always know that I'm rooting for you! Remember, there is strength in reaching out.
