Sometimes in life you need a little extra support. Someone to listen without judgement, to validate your feelings and allow you to feel heard, seen and respected. If you're reading this you're probably looking for someone to help you navigate a challenging time in your life, to rediscover who you are, or improve your relationships. I am passionate about working with people who want to deepen their connection with themselves and the people they love. I want to help you navigate life's challenges, foster resilience, and equip you with coping skills to thrive in the face of stress.
Life gets really hard sometimes and I am here to support you through the stressful seasons of life, whether you need support in your romantic life, parenting support, or help finding balance and prioritizing self-care. I hold a deep commitment to fostering an inclusive and anti-oppressive space where healing and self-discovery can thrive.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and I commend you for your decision to embark on the journey of healing and self-discovery that therapy offers. Reach out today and lets get started with a free consultation.
