Not accepting new clients. We believe each of us has the capacity to truly learn about ourselves through our most challenging experiences. We use life’s challenges to grow into the people we strive to be, however at times these experiences are difficult to navigate independently.

Our eclectic and client specific approach, allows us to meet clients where they are and develop a treatment plan to best fit their needs/goals.

It has not been an easy step for you to come to counseling. It may take months, or even years, to get up the courage to call for an appointment.

“I once heard a child who was afraid of the darkness call out: "Auntie, talk to me, I’m frightened.’ ‘But what good will that do? You can’t see me;’ to which the child replied: ‘If someone talks, it gets lighter.”(Sigmund Freud) I believe that through talk therapy, we can overcome whatever lies at the root of the problem. Together, we will try to better understand what has brought you to the consulting room, whether that be relationship problems, social anxiety, depression, trauma, self doubt or a specific issue you would like to address.
