Sometimes the hardest step is the first step. I look forward to working together to create a safe environment which will allow a meaningful exploration of your thoughts and feelings, to build trust and confidence in reaching your goals and make life-long changes.

Are you feeling stuck and struggling to experience happiness and joy? Perhaps pain from the past or worries about the future are getting in the way of living the life you want. Seeking help is a courageous first step.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process and by working together we can identify areas that are causing you difficulty and develop personalized treatment goals. I provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters change and personal growth.

Whether your present life feels unmanageable, or past hurtful experiences are still causing you pain, there is hope. Reaching out for help is the first step to making positive changes in your life.

There are times when we experience a lack of emotional balance in our life, which can appear to be accompanied by stress, confusion, a sense of hopelessness or disconnection from families and friends.

I have learned through my own life experience how struggles can open a door into a deeper aspect of self, leading to a better understanding of what was missing.
