Life can be stressful. Whether it be your family, partners, work, and/or friends— It can all be too much at times. Sometimes, we just need a little help and/or someone to talk it out with. I can be that person. My therapeutic style is an integrative type. My foundations are CBT, Gestalt, and Reality Therapy. This means, we will identify then confront the challenges or issues you’re having. Figure out what is contributing to them, whether we delve into the past and/or explore the present. We will talk and process, and you will put your new tools and techniques into practice (outside of session).

You’re struggling to find some motivation. Mounting pressure in your work environment. Or maybe you’re looking to assert yourself more in your relationship.
