Do overwhelming emotions feel like they’re holding you back? Would you like to develop practical skills to reduce suffering, build healthier relationships, manage distress, and stay grounded in the present moment? I believe that everyone possesses inner wisdom, even if life’s challenges sometimes make it feel out of reach. Everyone is worthy of feeling loved, confident, happy and being the best version of themselves and my approach to therapy acknowledges the individuality of each client. Together, we can uncover what’s standing between you and the life you want to lead, and find effective, practical ways to reconnect with yourself.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
