Great to meet you!

I work with children and adults with an emphasis on achieving a quiet, relaxed and joyful state of mind to help with a variety of mental health challenges. My mission as a therapist is to help you overcome the limitations created by issues such as anxiety and depression so that you can feel like yourself again and go on to lead the happy, successful and unburdened life that you are meant to have.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach includes cognitive-based therapies that focus on mindfulness and acceptance.

What you can expect from our first session

Goals of therapy include clearly defining what the client hopes to achieve and ensuring that the client feels involved in the goal-setting process. Outcomes of therapy include discussing realistic goals and expectations as well as identifying and celebrating small successes along the journey. I create a safe space and supportive setting to assure the client that the therapy environment is welcoming and comfortable.
