Great to meet you!

My expertise is working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem/body image concerns, substance abuse, trauma, work stress and anger management.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate your journey to healing. Taking the fist step can be uncomfortable, but you do not need to do it alone. I utilize an array of therapeutic interventions that are person-centered and solution-focused.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow at any point in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. If you’d like to learn more about how I can help, send me a message.
