My goal is to support individuals who are coping with challenges that can deter them from feeling balanced and comfortable. I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and older adults coping with anxiety concerns, end of life/caregiving struggles and grief/bereavement concerns. As we cope with life stressors we are pulled away from our well being. I provide helpful tools and strategies so you can create significant impactful change and feel more like yourself again. We can work together to build a foundation that gives you strength even when you may feel your weakest.
I have an easy going style and sensitive to the needs of others. Initially, we will discuss your concerns then move onto background such as your history and current challenges. We can address exactly what you want to tackle and make a plan together on what your priority is at this time.
I have been told I allow a safe place for people to share their truth. Do not hesitate to reach out via email or phone. You can book a time for a free consultation and see if this feels appropriate for you. I have flexible availability and able to connect quickly to see if we are the right fit.

I often support people with anxiety, low moods, trauma, and grief/bereavement needs. We would explore in our initial sessions your concerns and their impact on you. We would plan on ways to address your worries and wellbeing with exercises and strategies. My clients often feel more equipped and more able to manage the distress in their life after a few sessions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Trauma Informed care. We explore what brings you to therapy and how best to address the concerns present. We make a treatment plan together and evaluate how you feel along the way. For grief concerns we would use more of an emotion focused approach/narrative therapy to cope with the loss.
