Life is tough, and so are you...except there are days, weeks, maybe months, where you don't feel so tough. Most people seek outside help as a way to explore overwhelming feelings about themselves, a loved one or a life circumstance.

As a therapist and health & wellness coach, I provide a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to share challenges and celebrate successes. I hope you will find my approach to be compassionate yet direct.

Sometimes we experience life changing events that cause us lose sight of our hopes and dreams. Our fears can deceive us into believing that we will never be okay again. We do not have to be defined by what has happened to us. I believe that no matter what we have been through we have the potential to create for ourselves, a happy, rich and full life worth living. It is not easy to overcome the bad experiences but it is possible. Therapy can increase psychological flexibility and allow us to not be open again. If you are tired of being limited and ready to make real changes therapy can help you create the life you wish to have.
