If you are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety or trying to reduce the impacts of stress on your health, this is the place for you. Sessions with me are via video, so it's flexible & you can attend from comfort of your own space. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then discuss some ways to help you make progress towards feeling better. Therapy takes time, but I'll show you tools that can help along the way.

With any problem, whether depression, grief or eating issues, your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor.
If you are looking for help then you have some idea of how you would like things in your life to be different. It may be "I want to feel less depressed and more engaged with life." It may be related to eating issues; whether anorexia, bulimia, overeating, or obsession with healthy food. Depression, anxiety and other emotions are so much a part of eating issues and all will prevent you from making the changes you cannot seem to without help. Depression and anxiety in general can keep you from having the life you so desire and life losses can also keep you stuck in the past. We all want to find joy and meaning in our present life.
