"Something is wrong, but we can't quite grasp what. We search for a better understanding of ourselves in order to solve our emotional and psychological discontent. We think about the events of the day, relationships, childhood and the past. Still, something doesn't seem right. We act and feel in ways that create discord. I provide psychotherapy for people who are interested in looking for the deeper meaning behind the discomfort in their lives. The goal is to be able to have more meaningful relationships, fulfilling work and societal contributions, as well as the capacity to bear the difficulties that are part of living fully."

"Maybe you want to make a change or maybe change has thrust itself upon you. Either way, change is difficult and doesn’t come easily for most of us. Moving in a new direction isn’t only about learning new ways of being, it’s also about letting go of old ways – that’s much harder! "

"Life transitions teach us about change and how uncomfortable change can be. Life transitions provide us with uncomfortable ends, lessons we need to learn and an opportunity for rebirth. Spirituality allow us to connect to something greater than ourselves and provides us with a search for meaning, purpose, hope, and integration in life. My master’s degree in Spiritual Care/Psychotherapy, my own practice and my time in providing spiritual care to individuals/ families in hospitals has taught me a lot about connection, compassion, resiliency and how strong the human spirit is when faced with difficulties. "

I use an integrative approach, drawing from a range of therapies to help you process emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, build a positive relationship with your body and self, and live a life that is in line with your values."

"In my 10 years of social work practice I have helped people move through periods of change in their lives. I have learned that all life transitions, be they joyful or deeply painful, come with varying degrees of emotions. Some of us are able to work through these emotions on our own, while others need a helping hand. My role is to guide you, by working together, to find the tools to cope with and overcome life’s challenges. I believe that seeking help is a recognition of your strengths and self-awareness. Whether you are overwhelmed as a new mom, grieving a loss, or feeling anxious about your job, you shouldn't have to do it alone. "

"Sometimes, you get the sense that it’s so much easier to make everyone else happy, rather than make yourself happy. Even though you give a lot for others, you still have nagging thoughts that you didn’t do enough, or you did something wrong. You find it difficult to say "no," and worry about being judged. You end up putting yourself last. You feel tired and stuck, wanting more for your life. But not anymore. You’re ready to lead with courage, and find a balance."
