Great to meet you!

I am a psychotherapist, child development consultant and mother of two with very different personalities and in my years of clinical experience, I have been able to help families enjoy motherhood, fatherhood and a balanced life. It has been my great pleasure helping clients navigate and overcome challenges caused by emotional issues, unhealthy habits, relationship stress, life transitions, and/or parenting difficulties that might have compromised their personal growth.

My approach to therapy

Emotional problems, such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress are very common in all stages of life but can be treated. Using a variety of modalities, especially CBT, I can help you change unhelpful thoughts, face worries and/or fears, learn coping skills, develop a greater sense of confidence, and improve your functioning and interaction with others.

What you can expect from me

If you feel determined to receive help to nurture your emotional well-being, lead a healthy life, and build a strong foundation for your children, I can support you explore unhealthy patterns, face worries/fears, learn coping skills, develop a greater sense of confidence, and improve your functioning and interaction/relationship with others. Lets delight in moments of connection while balancing meeting your needs and those of your loved ones.
