About me
I have over 25 years of experience helping people process and navigate the curve balls that life throws at them. Sometimes, we just need a professional ear to help us make sense of things...My expertise has been trauma-focused for the past 20 years. I can help shift that visual, thought or belief that keeps you entrenched in negative thinking patterns and behaviors.
I've always believed that it's a privilege for clients to let me into their world. If you trust me with that, I will do my best to honor the strengths that have gotten you this far and help you to become the best version of yourself. The word "filotimo" is a Greek word that encompasses a complex array of virtues, such as honor, dignity, respect and walking in the right path...after all, isn't that what we're all trying to do at the end of the day- walk in the right path while causing the least amount of collateral damage? I'll offer you a judgement-free space to help you untangle your thoughts and feelings, all the while reminding you to be compassionate and patient with yourself; therapy takes time! So, if you're ready to get unstuck and think we might be a good match, I look forward to hearing from you. Whether you're struggling with depression, relationship issues, PTSD, grief, or anxiety, consider investing in yourself. Filotimo Wellness believes that the best version of yourself is yet to come!
