As we live in a generation where young people continue to face complex challenges and increased barriers to leading fulfilling lives, my practice focuses on supporting you through experiences of anxiety, ADHD, depression, family conflict, childhood trauma, career-related stress and/or relationship concerns. Finding someone you trust and feel comfortable expressing yourself to can help you better understand your emotions and process through them. As a professional, my aim is to empower you in understanding your personal values, promote self-confidence and foster personal growth in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate space.
I have over 5 years of clinical experience working with youth & adults to improve their emotional regulation, self-esteem & social skills. My practice is grounded in evidence-based modalities and research to provide you with the best care possible. I share relevant psychoeducation and exercises that may assist you in making meaningful progress in therapy.
Your journey to wellness is a major investment that has the potential to impact your relationships, career, physical and mental well-being. If you are wondering if therapy is the right fit for you, I offer free 15 minute consultations to connect with you to better understand your needs and answer all your questions.
