Anxiety and Depression

Great to meet you!

If you are currently experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of low self-worth, or a difficult life transition, this is the perfect time to try effective therapy.

I can help. I am passionate about helping people gain awareness and knowledge that affect their mental health and emotional state.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I recognize that everyone's situation is unique and make every effort to understand all aspects of one's life in order to reach an accurate diagnosis and deliver highly personalized treatment that maximizes your chances of success. I incorporate various modern and traditional treatment methods into the therapy process to provide the most effective and fastest ways to regain balance and mental health.

What you can expect from our first session

Many of us experience feeling anxious, out of control, disconnected, and depressed on a daily basis. Once our mind and our brain becomes accustomed to feeling "stressed, unhappy, and unworthy", it becomes a state of being, our new norm. We may start to believe that this is all that life has to offer. At this point your own mind starts working against you, and it becomes critical to look within for the answer to being happier and in a place of peace with ourselves.
