Hi there, grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit let’s talk. Do you ever feel like you're going through life by yourself at times maneuvering through it blindly. Life can be challenging, overwhelming, causing stress, anxiety and depression, distorting life's compass and our ability to find our way out of the darkness and into the light. Life is a personal individual journey, our own perception of it. Although we share our life with others, we don't experience it the same. Be a Better You, LLC provides a compassionate, supportive safe space to talk and grow. Asking for help isn't a concession of defeat, it's an act of immense strength

I believe therapy should be long term and built on the strong relationship between therapist and client. My approach is solution focused with forward orientation. I try to encourage clients to share at their pace & they will be met exactly where they are at. Anything shared is viewed as a gift & a privilege to hear. I practice eclectic psychotherapy using a wide range of tools, training, and skills with my life experience to support clients in being able to achieve the desired change, acceptance, or processing they may be seeking. I want you to feel safe enough to finally tell someone: what happened to you. You are no longer alone.

We are lucky to live during a time when therapy is seen as a necessity and is no longer considered taboo. Being able to ask for help is a strength not a weakness. We cannot control the world or people around us, but we can learn how to deal with our own emotions instead.
