If you have found your way here, you may be craving change. I am here to assist you on your journey. I work best with individuals struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, history of trauma, and/or attachment issues.
The best way to reach me is via my website (link to the right) where you can request a free consultation.
My approach can foster self-empathy, empowerment and forgiveness. You know yourself best, and I am here to listen to your story and strengthen your sense of self. I offer a nonjudgmental space set with appropriate boundaries. I specialize in working with the Queer/LGBTQIA+ community, children/adolescents and young adults.
It can be difficult to ask for help. If you are here on this site, your next step may involve seeking an initial session. Since you have found your way here, I challenge you to make that next step and reach out, whether it be to me or my fellow colleagues.
