All are welcomed and I will work to create a safe space to allow a client to be their authentic self. Ideally a client will be open and honest about the reason for therapy and allow me to get to know the real them. As a starting point for a new client I will consider their Current Habits, Identify Their Goals, Identify Their Fears and identify what their most immediate needs are.

If you are in a place of transition, feeling frustrated or wanting to address unresolved issues, therapy can be the first step in the right direction. I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to improve areas of their life including self-image, behavioral issues, relationships, and career related concerns. The journey to self-discovery is a collaborative relationship that I approach with genuine interest, acceptance and compassion. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole including aspects of mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

I help women create the lives they want and improve their relationships with themselves and with others. Are you a woman who feels there’s never enough time to get everything done? Do you often feel disconnected from who you really are and the life you were meant to live? Maybe your life has taken an unexpected turn and you’re feeling overwhelmed and unorganized, stuck and unbalanced. Maybe you’ve been trying to make some changes on your own, but it’s not working. I understand, and I can help.

“Addressing our emotional, mental and psychological wounds is best way of empowering life” Happiness is not ready-made; our actions determine whether or not to achieve it. Over the last few years, I have had several clients all with their own story to tell. The mind can sometimes be an unsafe neighborhood; however, you don't have to go there alone. As a therapist, I help all my clients navigate the dilemmas by tailoring each therapy session to match your needs and wants. My approach is interactive, warm, and accepting, ensuring that each client feels a sense of belongingness. It implies that I offer tasks, feedback, and tools.
