*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR MAY 2021. My goal in therapy is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and safe. Ultimately, I see my role as someone who is here as a helper, working to come alongside each client to ease distress, build coping skills, strive towards growth, and help move towards desired change. I have experience in working with a wide variety of issues and specialize in depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. I am a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapist who is a good listener and is easy to talk to.

I have been where you are, facing a life that does not seem as if it's your own. Struggling with challenging emotions, circumstances that are out of your control, or a diagnosis that surprised you. I want you to know that there is hope for you to find healing and the tools to write a new story. You are not alone. Beginning counselling can be challenging and scary, but it is incredibly rewarding.

I help individuals and couples ease their distress and join in relationship. Welcome here, are people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and walks of life. A place where you can find the direction and support needed to resolve conflict and experience life more fully. Therapy can feel vulnerable and I offer a safe and collaborative space to help you explore, assert, and better meet your individual and relational needs.

If you are suffering in silent, your work is stressful, you are anxious, depressed, feel loneliness, have couple, relationships issues or daily life stress we can work together to restore your joy of life.

This type of therapy is for you if you are currently feeling out of balance. Anxiety keeps you up at night when you run in your mind all the potential “what ifs” and none of them make you confident. If you have lost trust in your own ability to calm yourself down and give yourself hope to overcome the struggles of your mind. Maybe you are feeling lost in general. The things that used to give you joy no longer spark your heart and they might even feel like chores. Your relationships feel distant and some might even be on the verge of breaking. Looking for help can be terrifying but also it can be exactly what you need.
