Welcome. Congratulations on taking this step to make change in your life. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery and belief that things can change just to land here. As a patient, your goals and treatment will be based on what you know best about yourself and what you want in your life. My role is to offer supportive guidance to get you to that place, without judgement or force. We will also develop an understanding of how your learned behaviors and emotional reactions to issues that may be causing discomfort for you are at the crux of your automatic thoughts and behaviors.

Are you struggling with a sense of identity? Wishing that you'd pursued something and now it's "too late?" We're raised to believe that there is a particular timeline our lives need to follow, but in reality, everyone's path and timeline are different. It's never too late to make a change and no matter who we are, or where we are in our lives, we are all capable of change. It's my goal to help you work towards achieving YOUR goals (even if you haven't quite figured out those goals yet).

There are a multitude of losses in a person's life, of which the loss of a loved one through death is just one. Often, we find ourselves struggling because we do not realize that we can mourn the loss of a pregnancy, a pet, a dream, or any other number of tangible or intangible things. While grief and mourning are natural processes, sometimes we need additional support and companionship along the way - someone able to create and maintain a safe and welcoming space for the intense emotions the grieving process may entail.
