I believe that getting one’s life to a point where it’s satisfying, productive and fulfilling is a lifelong process, and that sometimes we need some help along the way. My philosophy is that the most effective healing process in helping people reach their goals can involve both medication support, in conjunction with Psychotherapy. I wish to provide a safe, caring relationship where I can work collaboratively with clients to support them in meeting their goals. Key to this process is finding hope.

Your story and your struggles are unique to you. Media and family often put expectations on us that do not align with what is best for our authentic self. Family conflict, anxiety, depression, substance use, and unhealthy relationships - with ourselves and others - can be the result of these pressures.
