My areas of practice include: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, PTSD, and time and stress management.
I specialize working with young adults and seniors. As a therapist, my goal is to make sure you are provided with a comfortable and empathetic environment, built on trust and transparency. I use a collaborative therapeutic approach, and I work with you to develop an action plan; integrating evidence-based practices that suit your needs. Therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” method, therefore working together to find what works best is key.

Over the last 25 years of working with stress, anxiety, pain and trauma I have become increasingly inspired by the strength and resilience of others.
Life is a journey with unexpected challenges and at times suffering. We all need supports and strategies to rediscover our inner strengths. I work in a partnership with you as we explore and unpack your relationships, your roles and your sense of self. There is always hope and meaning even in the darkest places. Also in all relationships there are times when one or both partners feel hopeless, frustrated, betrayed or deeply hurt by the other. In both individual and couple counseling we work together to develop new techniques towards not only coping, but towards finding renewed hope and meaning. I love what I do!

I primarily work with women and men in their late 20s to early 60s. Many have a strong sense of responsibility and a tendency to set high standards for themselves. They have great qualities, but don't always recognize them. While many see them as confident, calm and composed, the reality is that they tend to overthink and worry, often focusing on pleasing others rather than themselves. Sometimes they wonder if they are "good enough." They are feeling stressed and anxious and are in need of support to help with coping, self-compassion, setting boundaries and tending to their own needs and self-care.
