Message to clients

Everyone deserves to live their life authentically. Therapy is a space where you can achieve positive change and empowerment. Specializing in trauma, chronic, illness, LGBTQ+ issues, and self-esteem, I will help you connect to your genuine self. I use a curious and exploratory approach, so we can explore how past experiences may be influencing your current thoughts and feelings. Through safety, vulnerability, and a judgement-free space, we can work together to create this experience in the most helpful way for you.

Therapy is an investment in yourself. You have the power to make lasting changes. Let’s work together to uncover your inner strengths and insights, and deepen your connections and relationships. I look forward to getting to know the parts of you that make you a complete and unique human.
