Do you struggle with feeling lost and alone? Overwhelmed and sad? Did your get up and go... got up and left (you!)? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? You are not alone. Now more than ever, people are feeling overloaded, anxious and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues.
My practice offers a custom approach for each of my clients. I start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I'll help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate the successes along the way. This is a safe space with online only appointments to suit you!
Helping people live a better life is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, or a life transition or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Our goal together is to help you feel better so you can live a better life! Call/Text/Email now for a free call, we'll start your new journey today!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use psychotherapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. Within psychotherapy, we look at how your thoughts and history affect your emotions and experience. I'll help you understand how your experiences shape the patterns you live out now and what we can do to change that.
