In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, stress, work issues, life transitions and OCD. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers and caregivers and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.
In our work together, you can expect to discover what is driving your current stress, identify your personal values and beliefs, and make positive changes in accordance with them. We'll set manageable goals that fit you, which often include increasing your self-compassion, developing a sustainable work-life balance, and improving personal boundaries.
Reaching out for support may feel overwhelming as one can experience feelings of nervousness and uncertainty. My promise is to provide a space of support, safety and non-judgement as we build a relationship of trust, rapport, and confidentiality.

When starting the therapeutic journey, we begin with a general assessment. This includes an intake where I collect important pieces of info about you. I may also use screeners to gather further insight into your symptoms and how they are impacting your daily life. I then take this info and create your unique treatment plan which include your goals for therapy.
