Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a loss of a sense of self, that affects your ability to positively regard who you are and your purpose? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, alone or stressed by life's responsibilities, like responding to emails, transitions either from work to home or school? Do you wonder if your sense of self could be better fostered through your ability to deal with these challenges? Now more than ever, all people, are feeling a heightened sense of anxiousness, fatigue and pressure to make ends meet while maintaining healthy relationships and meeting society's expectations.
I believe that living a healthy balanced life where all aspects like, life transitions and challenges are met with possibility. At A Williams Therapies we offer talk therapy support for individuals of all ages, genders and backgrounds. We start with identifying your presenting issues and work on setting aims throughout the process.
I offer a safe and inclusive space for individuals in their mental health journey. I will guide you to explore, find meaning and purpose and create a plan to move forward to creating a self that is in line with your ideals. Call or email today for a free consultation and we’ll take the first step together.

As an RTC-C and licensed teacher, I bring an adaptive lens to counseling. My work with all ages and backgrounds taught me that everyone processes the world differently. I meet you where you are with a supportive, inclusive approach tailored to your unique story and pace.

In our work together, I take a holistic view of your health, looking at how your mind and body support one another. My approach is deeply person-centered, meaning we focus on what is most important to you in the 'here and now,' while using psychodynamic insights to understand deeper patterns. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, ensuring that your unique story is handled with respect.

My practice is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. I've chosen these specific frameworks because they honour your autonomy; they don't follow a rigid, top-down agenda. Instead, they allow us to move at a pace that feels safe for you, focusing on your values and your unique story rather than just a set of symptoms.
