Have you been feeling down? Like something is off? Are you at a transition point in your life? Are you struggling with a relationship? You've made it this far, why not give counseling a try? For many people it is the first step in changing behaviors and patterns that have led to distress and relational challenges. Together, we’ll explore what might be getting in your way, and identify strategies that you can use to feel better. Therapy can also be a great opportunity to explore questions related to meaning and purpose in life and in work, as well as personal and professional identity development.
I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, LGBTQ issues, relationship difficulties and ADHD. As we get to know one another, we’ll talk about what style fits best for you and tailor our sessions to meet your needs. As a trained yoga instructor, I am also able to incorporate mindfulness practices into therapy.
Therapy is not “one size fits all,” and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. A great place to start to set-up an initial appointment and see if it is a "fit." Online booking is available on our website. Take the first step in taking care of you!
