Therapists in B3J

l work with different generations along the life-cycle from young adults to the elderly. I am passionate about helping young adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety and depression as they work towards their career goals, relationships, or just figuring out who they are. I am able to share the wisdom of my lived life experiences and offer different perspectives to adults and seniors as they navigate the many changes that life presents. I am committed to helping couples improve their relationships and use the Gottman method to give them specific tools they can use to build a "sound relationship house".

Im enjoy supporting people managing difficult situations. If you are coping with depression, anxiety or any form of stress I am here to help you find some relief from the pain.

In times of life challenges, we suffer not only as individuals but also in our relationships. Since 2008, it has been my passion to support individuals, couples and families in their quest to turn personal and relationship challenges into opportunities for personal growth and greater connection.

I welcome you into an inspiring, trusting, safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment for you to discover your strengths, your challenges and your potential that is waiting to be unfolded.

Feeling stressed, stuck, unfulfilled or unmotivated can be exhausting. When anxiety, depression, self-doubt or relationship difficulties overwhelm you, it can sometimes feel like things will never get better. If you've been working hard to move past your struggles yet still aren't seeing the results you want, partnering with a skilled therapist can help. Whether your difficulties are recent or have persisted for some time, therapy can bring a new perspective to life's challenges and help you create the changes you want to see. Most of us benefit from added support during times of difficulty or major life transitions.

Are you feeling a bit stuck in the daily grind, like life's just passing you by? Maybe you're finding it hard to focus, and those anxious thoughts just won't let up, making it tough to get a good night's sleep or stay present in the moment. And in your relationships, do emotionally-charged conflicts keep popping up, leaving you feeling lost when it comes to expressing yourself and putting your needs first? I get it. It's not easy to show up as your true, authentic self when feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or sadness are holding you back. But here's the thing – you don't have to do it alone.

Recovery from pain is possible. Let's start together from understanding YOUR pain and creating a path to wellness that is unique for YOU. I am fascinated by the brain and body connection and the immense possibilities that arise when we open ourselves to learning and understanding how various psychoneurobiological mechanisms work, how our environments and circumstances have shaped us and continue to do so, and how we can harness the power of that understanding towards change. Studies indicate that many chronic pain conditions are often not the result of structural causes, but of psychoneurobiological processes that can be reversed.

Accepting NEW Clients: When faced with difficult life experiences, feelings of ‘not being good enough’ or memories of painful past events, it’s not uncommon to get stuck repeating the same old patterns as a way of trying to cope.

Ideally, you want to feel more at ease with yourself, making choices and decisions that serve your best, authentic interests vs. those of others.
