Female Therapists in M3H

Parenting is hard; the lived experience of a child/youth can be hard too. Sometimes, understanding each others' perspectives can be challenging. My aim is to bridge this gap and help families work together, rather than against each other. Thinking about how you can enhance your family's overall mental health? Consider how therapy can support your family in moving towards positive change. A non-judgmental and outside perspective can help your family really listen to each other, consider differing perspectives in a new way, and offer unique strategies to direct you towards your goals.

As human beings, we all have lives full of unique challenges, stresses and anxieties that we don’t always have control over. Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can become so consuming that they interfere with our happiness, prosperity and sense of personal peace. Our therapy sessions involve exploring our thoughts and feelings, gaining skills and insight into how they work, and finding strategies to address difficult situations in our lives with healthier, practical and manageable approaches.

It can take a lot of courage to come out and ask for help. I believe every individual has the potential to strive and not just survive at any stage in life, on their own, or in their relationships. I am driven and determined to help support you in your journey to well-being.
