Life can be challenging, stressful and unpredictable. Although we may commonly think that we “should” manage our problems on our own, the truth is we can often benefit from an increased understanding of our situation combined with a set of new strategies. I am here to listen and together we can explore your hopes, needs, and goals to promote an authentic understanding and acceptance of who you are. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to explore all areas and relationships in your life. I believe that therapy can be a platform to see that these seasons of challenges can become opportunities for growth, self-discovery and transformation.
I support individuals in areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships and coping skills with compassion and understanding.
I also do a great deal of fulfilling work with parents and families. In this day and age life is busy and connecting as a family, individually with your children and as a parental unit can be difficult. I support families by teaching the skills needed to set healthy boundaries and routines to decrease conflict but more importantly to connect with your children; giving you the opportunity to create memories and traditions that will last a lifetime.
I look forward to working with you in building new skills to rediscover joy in your life and hope for the future.
