People often feel vulnerable and overwhelmed when starting therapy. My approach to therapy is that therapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist. I believe it is important that we both are working towards the same goal and that you feel comfortable enough to be honest and open to my help. Creating a partnership will help the two of us make progress together and empower you to be aware of your own potential.
I provide individual, couples, family and group therapies. All therapies focus on developing skills to make lasting change and to improve self esteem.

Trying to balance relationships, work, the demands of everyday life, and stay grounded in your own identity can be exhausting. In today's constantly moving society, many of us find we have little time to care for ourselves, or even think of what we can do to replenish our cups. Many of my clients seem to be more sensitive to the world around them, and experience big shifts in mood, or intense emotional processes. With the constant stimulation happening around us, this can lead to perpetual feelings of stress and burnout, anxiety, depression, tension in relationships, and a lost sense of self or meaning in life.
