Life brings many challenges and at times we may need the support of a therapist. I am warm, caring and respectful. I use a variety of evidence based treatment modalities such as CBT, solution focused, strengths based, mindfulness and DBT informed treatment. I believe that change is possible when you are given the guidance to draw on your strengths and inherent skills to realize YOUR potential to navigate life. I have over 15 years of experience serving children, adolescents, adults, families and couples in the community, hospital setting and private practice.
I am certified in thanatology which is the study of death and dying. I am here to help you navigate the ‘new normal’ after experiencing grief and loss through death and/or non death losses (ie. divorce, moving, job loss). Regardless of the type of loss you’ve experienced, your grief is real. You are not alone and I am here to help you.
Finding the right fit in a therapist is the first step in your journey. Please give me a call for a complimentary 15 minute conversation to determine if we are that fit. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
