Life can be so hard sometimes, right? It can be overwhelming, exhausting, full of anxiety and heartache... If you are in a hard place, I am here to support you. I work with my clients to help them understand the underlying thoughts and beliefs that are contributing to the difficulty of life. I explore the experiences my clients had that are influencing how they see themselves and their world today. Clients can take a new look at these beliefs and thoughts and assess whether they still fit.

I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.

Reasons for seeking therapy are unique to each of us; we may suffer due to difficult relationships, grief, loss, neglect or may just feel lost, stuck, or empty.

Regular encounters of support, validation, and connection in a non-judgmental environment allow us to explore and sort out the chaos that comes at us and churns within us daily.
