When life throws a curve ball, our capacity for resilience can be sorely tested. If you are feeling lost, if you are grieving or feeling stuck, speaking with someone who understands navigating major life transitions, working through grief and loss, as well as dealing with depression, anxiety and trauma (past or present), has proven benefits.
I am a practical, down-to-earth therapist working within the psychodynamic and acceptance and commitment therapy frameworks. In supporting your journey to wellness, I focus on a collaborative, values-based approach, where compassion and awareness of self are front and center.
The relationship between you and your therapist is vitally important. I invite you to schedule an initial consultation (no-fee) for us to get to know each other a bit, answer questions, and see if the fit is right for working together.
