Message to clients

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reprogramming your stress response. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.

Your well-being is my ultimate concern. Whether you’re an individual, a couple or a family looking for help - my therapy sessions are designed to strengthen your confidence, and assist you in the healing process. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My space is a safe place for all who enter.
