Therapy is a process that promotes exploration and self-discovery. We all live with internal challenges that may have been caused by external stressors. Sometimes in life we need to really set aside time to slow down, take a look at ourselves and attempt to answer the question “Who are you?” Many of us define our lives by our occupation yet the answer to this question goes much deeper. Who we are as individuals can dictate how we deal with stress, how we make decisions and even how we take care of ourselves.

Many seek therapy because of the challenges they face in their everyday life. Individuals know that something is interfering significantly with their ability to find satisfaction in their life to avoid distress. As a seasoned and highly trained therapist, I provide an empathic environment that enables a shared journey into an individual's personal functioning. A respectful curiosity about problems and challenges develops, generating ways of resolving difficulties in life.
