Are you feeling a lack of energy, motivation, and tired of being in a state of worry? Are you usually the one your family, friends, co-workers seek out for answers to solve their problems? Then it's time to learn to shift that focus on others needs to focus on yours. Yes, I know. You feel guilty even thinking of that. Well, that is to be expected. Learning to say no, to set healthy boundaries, and meet your own basic+ needs will help you take your power back.
I can help you explore the patterns that have been impacting your life and brought you to therapy. Better understand how they have affected your daily living by deconstructing them. I can then assist with constructing them in a way they can be used as a tool.
Your intuition or gut brought you this far, now take the next step and set up a session with me. Trust yourself in knowing you were guided for a reason. Find out what that reason is and build on that. I naturally help people build on their strengths and remind them of their own power. I guide with what I have learned academically and personally.

I am strongly based in Collaborative and Strength-based Approaches, and implement Solution Focused Therapy when it fits for the agreed upon treatment plan. I find it to be most useful to get to know the clients perspective in their current daily living to better coordinate the best approach suited for them.
