Whatever the reasons that brings you here, I believe that the ups and downs of life provide opportunities (and sometimes hidden blessings) to learn about ourselves and life in general. You will learn how to restore within yourself a sense of balance and well-being, and to cultivate a renewed awareness and sense of presence in your life. After a thorough assessment, we'll begin to work on the issues that are most important to you. You'll develop insight into how past experiences and thinking processes may be continuing to influence your well-being and to identify the issues that are most troublesome. You will also be guided through the process of clarifying your values, passions, strengths and resources so that they can be drawn upon to mobilize you in a positive direction. With over 24 years of experience, you can have peace of mind that I am a very caring, non-judgmental, compassionate and skilled therapist. I offer a complimentary 15-minute telephone consultation to see if it's a good 'fit' and a good vibe so feel free to reach out. Feel free to ask me about my Therapy Intensives as well!
*Accepting New Clients*
As a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist, I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore some of life's most difficult challenges. I specialize in working with both individuals and couples, including healing relationship concerns, coping with relationship issues, and navigating separation/divorce. Additionally, I have experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, trauma and healing from abuse, navigating career changes and life transitions, chronic pain, interpersonal concerns, and building self-esteem.
Accepting NEW clients! - Do you wish you “felt better?” or wish to feel more like yourself again? Does stress, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma have you feeling stuck? Do you want to better understand how your past effects your present? Are you wanting to reconnect in your relationship? I'll support you in reaching therapy goals by helping create more self-awareness and confidence, teaching coping methods, and paving the path to long-term change. My aim is to create a space to explore your thoughts and experiences without the outside judgment and bias in your day-to-day.
As a therapist, I'm all about empathy and connection. Picture our sessions as a cozy, judgment-free zone where you can open up about anything on your mind. Together, we'll dive into your story, uncovering your unique strengths and tackling life's twists and turns with a big dose of compassion and resilience. It's a journey we'll walk side by side, with understanding and trust lighting the way.
Do you want to feel less stressed, less depressed and more in charge of your own life? Or maybe you want to process grief, trauma and feel peace again? I understand, life can be really difficult and throw us some curve balls when we least expect it. I am here as a professional and ally to walk through the hard times with you and be your guiding hand amongst all of the chaos. I believe that there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy and take an individualized approach with all of my clients. If you want a therapist who is modern and mindful, I am so glad you have found me. Together we will process the difficult times, work through life's challenges, and get you feeling like yourself again, or maybe you'll even discover a new you. Whether it is anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship or family issues, you will find a safe space in me and a place to heal and flourish. Contact me today for a free consultation!
