I believe that challenges can be beautiful, albeit deeply painful, opportunities to create a life you feel inspired to live There is hope in every situation, and often life’s greatest lessons are learned during its biggest obstacles. Life's not always easy. Hardships and transitions can blindside you and leave you feeling like you’re just trying to survive, and on autopilot. And then the questions come: Who am I? How did I get here? The life you have doesn’t reflect the one you imagined. While we can not change the past, we can choose to create meaning in our experiences, and determine how its legacy comes forward with us.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, humble curiosity, respect, and appreciation for innate humanity. I believe in the capacity for our own evolution, and the beauty and strength in resilience. My hope is that our work together will support you to build your sense of competence and clarity so that you may live a life that you value.

I welcome you to connect to the support you deserve and make the change you are longing for. For more info on how therapy works, and how I can support you, please feel welcome to connect with me by phone, email, or through our website where you can book a complementary 15-minute consultation. It would be my privilege to support you.
