My ideal client struggles with anxiety, depression, and difficult life adjustments. I enjoy helping patients reach their full potential and helping them navigate through life, especially during difficult times.I believe in achieving high-quality work as a therapist, which means meeting an individual where they are.

This also means understanding where they are on their journey and trying to find ways in which I can assist them in reaching their goals.

Depressed, moody, anxious and troubled more often than not these days, your work and relationships are suffering in the background as you try to "get a grip".

Often we forget that anxiety and depression are companions to things like crisis, change, grief, loneliness, conflict and many other conditions. Struggling to cope with what is in front of you right now, while also managing your anxiety or get a handle on your depressed mood might feel impossible.
