We all experience difficulties at some point in our lives- this is part of being human. Some people are able to move on and some get "stuck" for reasons that are not always clear. Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore these reasons in a safe, accepting environment and inspires personal growth.

For the last 24 years I've helped individuals who struggled with depression, anxiety, relationship or parenting issues, low self-esteem and more to reach their goals.

Whether we're addressing emotional struggles in your daily life, difficulties in your personal relationships, or mental health challenges you're experiencing, I will listen and encourage you with compassion & empathy.

“Intimacy is the home of differentiation” - John O’Donohue. Every person has a need for authenticity (to remain connected to themselves) and belonging (connection with others). Many learn to sacrifice one for the other, yet are left with a sense of frustration, anxiety, loneliness, and an ache for more. I help people learn to deepen and hold onto themselves while expanding into fulfilling connection with others.
