feeling and dealing with emotions...

According to the American Psychiatric Association, “Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotions and behaviors and to be linked with positive changes in the brain and body. ”

Through the use of evidence-based psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my clients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with life’s various obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to unpack personal issues and build up effective tools to help them "deal with" both the beauty and messiness of life.
