Learn. Heal. Thrive.

Improving yourself, your relationships, and your self-worth.

Individual Counseling and Coaching

Educational. Skills-Building. Collaborative.

Rather than traditional talk therapy or passive listening, I actively engage in sessions, providing an empowering, skills-building approach. This is particularly effective for resolving anxiety, reactivity, insecurities, low self-worth, maladaptive coping methods, relational distress and for divorce and breakup recovery.
