Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with an unwanted change, unmet expectations, or a significant health diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness? These experiences impact how we cope and live our lives. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible; finding a therapist that you connect well with and where you feel comfortable is a vital part of that healing. People can sometimes struggle to find a space that is just theirs to be able to process the good, the bad and the in between... but our sessions together can be just that. Your space and time to have a moment to focus on you and your needs.
People come to me looking for a therapist who is relatable, easy to talk to and authentic. I have worked for more than 14 years with people experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life limiting illness or trauma. I love helping people who may feel burnt out or frustrated by circumstances. My approach is open, affirming and connecting.
You don't have to navigate uncertainty or the scarier moments of life alone - I am here to walk along side you for support, with compassion and an open mind. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist. Call, email or visit my website today.
