Great to meet you!

Some days can be so much harder than others, which may leave you feeling stuck. When stressors combine, this can have a negative impact on our self-esteem, relationships, and school/work. To have a more positive and happy life, things need to change, and this can feel overwhelming without support. I can help with a wide variety of issues that can result in a happier life, not only for you, but also for your loved ones.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to express and be yourself is essential to your success.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we can discover more about yourself and why you think, feel, and behave the way you do. With that information, I can then teach you life and coping skills, how to communicate more effectively, how to make better choices, and implement a life plan that can deliver results.
