Are you in transition? Struggling with anxiety, depression, self-criticism or low self-esteem? Wanting to feel more empowered in your life, relationships and work? Tired of simply surviving? Are you seeking a warm and caring therapist who will listen and help support you to create a life that truly reflects and supports your aspirations and dreams? Who is devoted to your well-being and can offer both the practical help and emotional support to help you to thrive? If so, I'd like to help; I offer affordable day and evening appointments.
I work with women, men, teens and couples desiring new opportunities for themselves and their lives. Through beginning the journey of partnership, marriage or parenthood, trying to find balance to manage the stresses of everyday life, recovering from hardship / loss, or looking for meaning, I invite you to call me.
I will treat you with respect, thoughtfulness and compassion. Whether you want to learn more about yourself and your feelings, cope more comfortably with life's challenges, or pursue a journey of self-discovery, we will work together to create an experience tailored to your specific needs and goals.
