Losing yourself in a toxic relationship can be devastating and leave you feeling alone and confused. I help women and men regain their self-confidence and empower them to live their best life. My honest and nonjudgmental approach helps you identify your strengths and needs, so you can begin to manage and overcome anxiety, depression, or the negative impact of an abusive relationship or other traumatic event. Families and couples looking to improve communication and resolve conflict are invited to break down barriers in a safe and accepting environment.
No two people are the same, so our sessions will identify challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand the origin of your struggles and address these issues with strategies to help you reach your goals.
My journey began as a volunteer in a county jail while studying psychology at Smith College almost twenty years ago. This incredible opportunity allowed me to facilitate group and one-on-one sessions with incarcerated men for over nine years. My next life-changing moments occurred when I collaborated with remarkable occupational therapists and mental health counselors to provide patients with outstanding care in a hospital setting. The combination of holistic, clinical, and sensory approaches of these professionals shaped the way I work with my clients. Fast-forward to the amazing experience of working with children and their families to promote secure attachment and to process trauma felt by all involved.
The professional journey coupled with the personal journey I have taken has led me to create Blooming Lotus Counseling. Helping individuals discover what they want, who they are, or how they can overcome traumatic events, debilitating anxiety, or challenging relationships has been the driving force.
When enjoying my free time, I love being in the sunshine by the water while riding my bicycle, taking photos, or reading a book. Reveling in the wonders of nature and finding beauty or a lesson in each moment are what keep me grounded.
Counseling services with evening and weekend appointments available. If you are ready to begin your journey towards your best life, call me today for your 15-minute phone consultation.
