If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, relationship issues, or a major change has occurred in your life, I can help. Maybe you are taking care of a family member who is ill, or a loved one has recently passed away.
Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, have recently ended a relationship, or have encountered problems with a family member, significant other, or spouse. Maybe you are moving in with your partner or planning to get married soon. Therapy can be beneficial to anyone who wants to grow as an individual or as a couple.
I work closely with clients who are grieving, who are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and stress, and those who are experiencing relationship issues.
I will focus on your strengths, provide a safe place to discuss what matters to you, and ensure you get the support you need to achieve your desired results.
You can choose between teletherapy sessions, in-person sessions, or a hybrid model, whichever is more comfortable for you; these are your sessions.
Please get in touch with me by phone or email to schedule your free 20-minute telephone or virtual consultation.
