Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone.

Sometimes we feel stuck and don't know what to do, and that's where therapy is a great place to be; to learn insight to ourselves, create boundaries (with self and others), and experience all of what life has to offer.
