Are you struggling with loss? Are you struggling with chronic illness or pain? Are you a caregiver for a family member? Is depression or anxiety overwhelming you? Seeking therapy can be hard, but by doing so, you have already taken the first step towards healing. Chances are that circumstances happening in your life may have forever changed you. You may be struggling to figure out how to move forward. Although you may not be able to change your circumstances, I believe that you can learn ways to cope, and have a full and abundant life. I would be honored to help you on your healing path. , " I have many years of experience serving a variety of clients, including working with people living with HIV or other chronic illnesses, clients and families at the end of life, womens health, community mental health serving individuals with serious and persistent mental health challenges, and as Clinical Director of a mental health program at an agency specializing in LGBTQ clients. Ive also been in private practice for seven years. ", One of the biggest predictors of success in therapy is not the techniques or modalities that a therapist uses, although they are important. The most important tool a therapist can use to help a client heal is the quality of the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. It would be an honor to partner with you, and collaborate in developing a strong, healing therapeutic relationship. I invite you to take the first step and contact me. I look forward to talking with you.
