I built the foundation of my therapeutic approach helping young adults deal with issues including trauma, stress, anxiety, ADHD, and depression. Additionally, I have experience providing support to older adults in the community.

I help clients embark on a journey of self-discovery, where they will reclaim the right to feel their feelings, build self-esteem and trust in themselves.

Feel free to reach out! I'd be happy to schedule a 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and how I may help.
