Everyday life can sometimes be a struggle and it can be difficult coping with day-to-day tasks. Stress builds up and maybe you find it hard to say "no" even when you are overwhelmed.

I believe therapy is not “one size fits all,” but rather a journey to find what works for each person. Together we can explore what will work for you and have some fun along the way.
