Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Sheera, I have 20 yrs of experience as a therapist working with amazing and courageous people like you who are looking to level up their life.

Mental health issues are varied and I believe as humans we are so much more than any label or disorder, and have more potential than we can imagine.

With the right support, I believe we can change, grow and develop to feel we are living more aligned with our deeper truths and goals.

On a practical note, there are many tools out there that can help support a person's journey, and I see my role as your guide to tap into the supports that will work for you, and to cheer you on as you put them into place and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered- starting with understanding you and your world, and figuring out together how to get to the next point of growth. I am compassionate and open minded, ever looking to understand things on a deeper level and address the root of what's not working.

Life has taught me that we have the ability to create a reality we want to live in, and I can be your guide and cheerleader in that process.

Transparent communication is a value i have, as a basis to creating a trusting therapeutic relationship.

What you can expect from me

In the first session my goal is to learn about you and start to create a picture together of how thing are, while starting to think about how you want things to be.

Typical topics will include basic background and logistical info, what brings you to therapy now, what is and isn't working for you in your life, and to create a space for you to ask questions about the process. It is also an opportunity for you to see if you feel we can be a good fit to work together.
