MY METHOD
-
EMPATHY
With a lighthearted demeanor I bring personal understanding to pain, anxiety, and depression.
-
EXPOSURE
I help clients build resilience and break maladaptive habits by facing their fears in a safe and empowering space.
-
SOOTHING
I utilize mindfulness and cognitive tools to teach a high-alert brain how to live a less vigilant and more peaceful day-to-day existence.
Evidence- based THerapy & COaching
