Life presents us with many opportunities for stress, anxiety and emotional turmoil. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate difficulties in our life, especially when our own coping and problem solving strategies are not working anymore. Therapy is a tool that can help us steer the course of our life to the best of our ability so that we can achieve our goals and find more success personally and interpersonally. I always take a non-judgmental stance and hope that you will find me open and easy to talk to.

I help individuals and families, particularly those struggling with anxiety, create (or re-create) structure, balance, and boundaries back into their daily lives.

By breaking the cycle of negative thinking, I can help individuals and families learn new behaviors to replace those that led to and aided in the anxiety.
