People seek therapy for many reasons; sometimes it is due to historical events that need processing and clearing out, sometimes it is to seek resolution of current life circumstances, such as family or work challenges that make life feel unmanageable. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families or all ages with various challenges, and treat a range of challenges, including, but not limited to; Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Poor Self-Esteem, Trauma, Addiction, Interpersonal Relationships, Phase of Life and Adjustment Challenges.
I believe that, when one is ready to make a change, it is through identifying challenging patterns in one’s thinking and/ or behaviors that will increase insight, empathy, understanding, awareness and self-acceptance. I offer treatment that includes, CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based therapy.
I believe that life is always evolving and we are all capable of evolving with it and creating positive change. With the constant pressures of our ever-changing World, I create an environment that is safe, healthy, positive, and collaborative, and offers support and tools to help people achieve lasting peace of mind and true joy.
