We all face a variety of struggles in life, and have different ways of showing it (or not showing it). Whether you are having difficulty managing overwhelming emotions, or struggling to feel anything at all, I understand how extremely frustrating and isolating this can be.

My approach to therapy is empowering, compassionate, and focuses on assisting clients to gain insight in order to enhance their understanding of themselves and their situations. Together we explore possible ways to manage and relieve distress and suffering, and achieve lasting and meaningful change. Within the context of unconditional acceptance and non-judgement, this means clients can develop more adaptive ways of coping, relating to others, develop deeper connections, and be responsible and in control of themselves and their emotions.

Each person brings their own experiences and challenges into their personal and professional environments.
