Life can be challenging when balancing family responsibilities and work commitments. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or overwhelmed by everyday tasks? Sometimes navigating daily life and the unexpected seems like more than we can handle. There is help; reaching out is the first step to feeling better. I bring over seven years of experience helping individuals navigate life's struggles. We can work together to uncover what is holding you back from making positive changes in your life. I will support you on your journey to a better life. My childhood and compassion for others led me to be a therapist. This journey involved unexpected detours and new life experiences. I am accepting and understanding of the differences that make us unique and enrich our world. I am a helper by nature and I am dedicated to helping others reach their full potential. I strive to assist my clients in finding their answers to life's struggles with understanding and honesty. My greatest joy as a therapist is when clients achieve insight into what is holding them back.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
As an empathetic and non-judgemental person I want my clients to be comfortable and at feel as ease from the moment we meet. The goal of the first session is to get to know each other and begin building rapport. I want to learn about your expectations and therapy goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My therapeutic approach is authentic. No one's healing journey is linear because the path is rarely straight. Supporting your personal growth and emotional well-being are key factors in therapeutic success. I can help you work through barriers that may emerge while providing encouragement and support. Between session activities combined with in session discussion can maximize the effectiveness of treatment and get the most out of therapy.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have experience working with clients to manage ADHD symptoms, build coping skills, overcome anxiety, depression, improve relationships and develop anger management skills. Most often our coping skills were developed by trial and error without conscious awareness. Often we find ourselves struggling through life, doubting ourselves and wishing things could change. You have the power to create change because how we look at life and what we tell ourselves directly impacts our behaviors. I believe everyone enriches this world in their own way when they are functioning at their highest level.

Negative and irrational thoughts often keep us stuck. I have helped clients identify, challenge and restructure their negative self-talk. That awareness and shift in thinking has helped them overcome anxiety, improve mood and manage anger in healthier ways.
Supportive
Using a supportive therapeutic approach I provide empathy and validation which helps clients feel understood while building a therapeutic relationship which fosters open communication. I encourage my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment, allowing clients to become more self-aware and experience personal growth.
Humanistic
Through a humanistic lens I support my client's autonomy and personal responsibility in decision-making. With an emphasis on their personal perspective and individual experiences I help clients navigate the challenges of life transitions and improve self-esteem by promote feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance.
