An ideal client is someone who is willing and ready to work toward bettering herself/himself/themselves. The reality is that we all struggle to get to the point to take steps to work on ourself. Most of us are haunted by past experiences, child trauma, personal grief, self doubt, and insecurities. Sometimes, we are also dealing with mental health disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Mood Disorders, and/or disruptive behaviors. All these while jiggling every day ups and downs that life throws our way. It is easier to help and support everybody else than feel vulnerable and let all that out.

I am currently accepting new clients. For therapy to be effective, it must be an open and collaborative approach that is built on trust. The first step toward change is huge and can be intimidating. Together, we can work to identify potential solutions and map out ways to navigate the changes you are seeking. As a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, burnout, sport performance, and other more serious concerns.
