Children, adolescents, and adults who have faced challenging experiences in their lives or who are currently facing challenging experiences in their lives need and deserve to exist in spaces where they feel safe, can be heard and are accepted as they are. They often come to therapy because they believe they deserve to heal from their past experiences or cope with current experiences for themselves and those around them. Many of them also come to believe that they are inherently worthy of existing in a space that is safe and accepting of their authentic selves, which can be very freeing.

As humans we all have complex lives and due to this complexity, we all experience stressful events, but if these have started to impact daily life functioning and your quality of life, it is time to look at your options. The idea of therapy can be intimidating, but in reality it is an opportunity to self-reflect, promote healing, and improve one's quality of life.

Life is complicated. And our experiences (both good and difficult) impact who each of us are. I view therapy as a tool to help us reconcile all of these experiences to become who we want to be. Individually we have the choice to define who we are. We can not change our past, while we can help our minds to make sense of the many complications of life. My job is to help my clients find peace and relief from life's challenges. Help is available for a wide spectrum of conditions – for adolescents and adults.
