A key ingredient to successful therapy is having a strong therapeutic relationship.

Being a parent is a gift. However, some days we can find ourselves wondering if we are doing our best by our children, our partners and even ourselves. With life's demands - work, household responsibilities, other activities - one can find themselves feeling as if they are stretched thin. Stress that is left unchecked can run the risk of escalating to a severe presentation of anxiety or depression. This can in turn affect the way we parent and resolve family conflict. As a Mother and Wife I bring this relateability to our conversations.

Challenges in our love lives can trickle into all parts of our day. It can distract us from our responsibilities, our personal goals, and can take a major toll on our mental health. Feelings of frustration and hopelessness impact mood, motivation, our outlook on life, and can feel extremely isolating in our friend groups and with family. If this sounds familiar, then you are 100% in the right place. You deserve happiness, to be heard, to have your needs met, and to be loved wholeheartedly.

In understanding that individuals in pain or having a particular challenge in life may make only one attempt at reaching out for help, I strive to welcome and set at ease every one who contacts me. Most therapy patients are ordinary people that have hit a bump in the road of life and cannot get past it on their own. My commitment, through goal directed therapy, is to help those people return to their optimal level of coping with the sometimes mild, sometimes severe challenges that life brings their way and guide them back to a sense of well being.
