MY APPROACH
Having been a therapist for over 15 years, I’ve worked with people with a host of challenges. People seek me out when they want to heal. This healing may look like wanting to work on anxiety that has limited your life, taking steps to understand and heal from the trauma you’ve experienced as a child, or wanting to learn how to have more peace, joy and purpose in your life. Therapy is about the exploration of your thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams and wishes. From our sessions, we will create goals to address the challenges you may be facing and step into the life you want to be living.
