I strive to create a personable and comfortable space where you can be your true, authentic self. Through our sessions together, I will help you implement the tools and techniques needed to create healthier patterns and relationships in your life. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and joyous life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
