Whether you're facing relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem issues, or stress, I offer a warm and non-judgmental space to help you navigate your concerns with empathy and genuine curiosity.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or emotionally drained, which can make it easy to feel "stuck" or unsure about the future. But whether you know exactly what you want to work on in therapy, or have no idea where to start, I’m here to support you in bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Sometimes our life can feel overwhelming, and change can feel impossible. Our feelings can impact areas of our life that can make us experience stress, feeling low, problems in relationships, or self-esteem concerns. It can be difficult to understand what and why you feel the way you do, and more importantly, how you can move forward. Your feelings are not random, but you might not like how you react in situations, so understanding why and incorporating manageable skills to change can help you be the ideal you. You know who you want to be, but feel stuck in your ways - unable to see a way through or around.

It can be really challenging to be a young person in today's world, especially as one transitions to greater independence and adulthood. You may ask yourself these questions: Who am I? What is my place in the world? Who do I want to become? How can I manage stress and these expectations? Sometimes you may feel “stuck” and unsure about how to move forward. You may be facing obstacles like the transition to work, college, or university, school and work stress, relationship struggles and loss, oppressive or discriminatory social environments, identity confusion and exploration, as well as anxiety, depression, or experiences of trauma.

Moving from burnt-out and uninspired to a balanced, sustainable, and grounded place can feel like an impossible hurdle in the depths of stress while still striving for success. In a world often dictated by societal norms and expectations, the pursuit of an authentic life is a profound, rewarding, and transformative journey. This path is not about conforming to external pressures; it’s about honoring your true self, your passions, and your values.
