Great to meet you!

Have you ever felt stuck and desperately desired an accountability partner to help guide back out of your rut? Or what about misunderstood and unheard by the people you're closest to? Anxious about making decisions or initiating tasks? I could keep going, but you get the point. Life throws us curveballs throughout our unpredictable journeys and having professional support from a mental health therapist can certainly help.

My approach to therapy

I help clients set achievable goals to be accomplished in one year or less, then I act as their accountability partner throughout our weekly meetings to crush said goals. In our weekly meetings we will be proactive in chipping away little by little at those tasks at hand. I may "prescribe homework" to help keep you stay motivated, offer feedback and new perspectives to help you gain insight, challenge you to think from new angles, and much more.

What you can expect from me

The therapeutic journey is one that takes work, but is empowering and rewarding. Imagine you in one year from now. Who do you want to be? What do you want to change? Where would you like to end up? I'd like to sincerely welcome you into my virtual office where we will explore the barriers that are preventing you from being the best version of yourself. I am happy to chat to answer any questions you may have prior to scheduling together!
