Have you forgotten what it feels like to be happy? Do you find yourself feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a difficult life transition? My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental atmosphere in which clients can express their feelings and gain insight into what led to this current state of mind and then take the steps toward a positive change.

Life can be overwhelming and it’s important to know you don’t have to take steps alone. Gaining a sense of clarity and purpose can be so empowering, but how do we get there? I invite you to come by and discover how to feel empowered during hardships and overcome fear that may be stopping you from moving forward on your path. Let’s walk this path together!

Everything changed with your child's autism diagnosis. In a moment, your clear vision for their future became murky and unknown. And all the plans you’d made were instantly turned upside-down. You try to talk to friends and family about what you’re going through, and they offer well-meaning advice, but they just don't get it. How could they know how isolating and challenging it is to navigate a world that doesn’t understand your or your child’s needs?
