I believe in everyone's ability to change, heal, cope and feel joy. I work mostly with adults from a Family Systems perspective.

I use primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based techniques to address your relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Making a decision to begin the journey of therapy takes courage, commitment, and the willingness to change. It is not an easy decision, but well worth the effort and with much to gain.
