I have a passion working with individuals, couples and families with children of all ages and stages. Every person has a need to feel heard, seen, and capable. Therapy can be a benefit when you feel previous coping methods may have become exhausted or no longer work the way they did. This is when a fresh lens can lead to a new perspective and inspired action. Mental health matters, and I invite you to make it a priority in your life and the lives of your loved ones.
My approach to therapy is based on the principles of Integrity, Transparency and Results. As a life long learner I utilize theories and practices that are relevant and stand the test of time. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. You will leave each session with a goal, a workable plan and concepts/strategies to experiment with..
It takes courage to reach out for help, I understand. When you committ to putting in the work - the snowball effect that had you feeling buried can be reversed and lead to options and opportunities you may not have felt possible. When you feel ready - book an appointment or a free 15 minute consultation to get started.
