Many of us struggle with low mood, anxiety and the effects of trauma. Coping with these challenges can often lead us to behave in ways that we are not proud of, ways that do not reflect who we truly are. Having a professional, experienced in navigating some of theses challenges can help.

I strive to build a relationship with my clients based on comfort, safety and trust. My belief is that a relationship based on these pillars, will allow a person optimal conditions to reconnect with who they are authentically, permitting us to get a better understanding of the best way forward.

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to visit and review my profile. If you feel that I could be the right person to help you or someone you know through difficult times, please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you and working together.
