Change is hard, whether you are trying to stop anxious thoughts, be a better parent, let go of eating disorder behavior, or save your marriage. If you wish to bring change into your life, and have been unable to do it on your own, I can help. I am an expert in the science of change and hold a certificate in the field of Positive Psychology. I am a strength based therapist. Collaboratively and creatively we can discover the tools to enable you to move from a painful state to comfort and resilience, where you can flourish and become the best version of yourself.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions about how we might work together.
