My Approach
Collaborating with you to reach your goals
With a warm and empathic style, my mission is to help you discover a sense of hope and encourage you to move forward empowered to cope with life's challenges. I will help you feel understood and less alone in your journey. Together we can assess what holds you back from the freedom to live a more enriching life. We can target recurring patterns from the past that create current relational problems.

Children & Adolescents
​
A safe space to share
Is your child, tween or teenager struggling with anxiety, relationships with peers, self-esteem or exhibiting problematic behaviors? We will use various interactive modes including sand-tray, games and art to help your child express feelings and struggles.  This therapy can reduce anxiety and depression, regulate emotions and enhance your child's sense of self.

Regardless of the status of your claims, you are responsible for the payment of your care.
