If you are feeling overwhelmed with difficult life circumstances, we can work together to define challenges and find solutions. I am an interactive, down-to-earth therapist. I find the resilience of people to be truly inspiring. I believe therapy can help to resolve life crises, restore hope and guide you towards living a more fulfilling life. With renewed inspiration, energy and clarity, you can heal and overcome your challenges. With over 15 years of experience, I have helped many people move forward with their lives.
If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, effects of trauma, stress or relationship/ singles issues, we will identify patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are holding you back. We will work on rediscovering your strengths, creating alternative ways of thinking and being, reducing your stress level and reaching your goals.
I also have a specialty in infertility, neo-natal loss, family building and post-partum depression. I can help you cope with the stress of infertility and help you reach your goals. Looking for a therapist can be a daunting task. I offer in-person and video sessions to give my clients more options. A phone consultation can help make you more comfortable.
