Even as adults many situations are out of our control. The way we respond is not. Therapy can be helpful in changing our response to situations, feeling empowered and improving relationships. I will collaborate with you to find the most effective way for you to connect with your strengths, heal and move forward toward your goals. The setting I strive to create is one of support, safety and caring.

My therapy sessions are conducted over the phone! It is so easy to get stuck in our past or lost in the future and we forget to be mindful of what is going on in the present. Our past can shape who we are and how we perceive our lives today and this can easily get us caught up in a vicious cycle of various emotional and mental struggles. The importance of rebuilding a relationship with ourselves is a critical component in life and can provide a different outlook to mood, behavioral and personality disorders. Let us never underestimate the power that we hold within ourselves!

Does it feel like your inner voice is your worst enemy? I'll help you overcome self-doubt and learn to enjoy the present moment. How? By helping repair the wounds of the past, making way for self-respect and appreciation. There are plenty of reasons you might be so hard on yourself. Maybe you grew up feeling "not good enough." So now that shows up in relationships as insecurity and fear of abandonment. At work, you pressure yourself to be "perfect." And now you’re looking for therapy (and probably putting pressure on yourself to find just the right therapist so you don’t ‘fail’ at personal growth and confirm all your self-doubts.)
