As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover thoughts and beliefs that are keeping you in a negative cycle(s), whether it is interpersonally or your self-esteem. While we can't change the difficult situations of your past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life both in the present and the future. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Seeking help is not easy and it can be scary! If you are an adult or a parent of a teenager experiencing sadness, stress, worries, excessive crying, impulsive behavior, trouble sleeping/concentrating, anxiety, family/relationship or school/work problems for over four weeks, you may need therapeutic support. We all experience normal levels of stress, but if left unresolved, these behaviors and concerns, can result in significant social-emotional issues.
