You're questioning friendships, feel depressed or anxious, endure family dysfunctional patterns and relationship conflict.
There's a desire to express helpless and repressed feelings. You need help sorting out the confusion and alleviating the fears. Tired of holding in your feelings, you want your side to be heard. Yet there's a part of you that's afraid. Afraid of all the judgment. These fears have kept you small and voiceless, striving to do it "right." It's worked at times, at getting what you want, but has it, really? You're now sick and tired, feeling alone, and darned if you do or darned if you don't. Aligning with your core values has become important. Striving to break free from who you think you should be is becoming what you're seeking.

Do you feel stressed out, anxious or depressed? Children have the same emotions like us but they usually don't know how to talk about it or seek help on their own. However, the way they behave at home or school can be the clue for us. If you sense they are having some problems and they are struggling to cope with, it might be best to have them talk to someone with experience in getting children to communicate about what's affecting them.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist, I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.

I approach psychotherapy as a co-creative alliance between client and therapist. I seek to create a safe, humorous and collaborative space for clients to explore their own ability to access greater insight, clarity and self-awareness. I gravitate towards humanistic, psychodynamic and in-depth psychology (Spiritual) approaches - while also tailoring each session to my client’s particular needs and strengths.
