About me
Life can be overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, confused or burdened by past experiences. I work with individuals, couples and families on various matters including substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, communication and relationship difficulties. I will assist you in discovering your unique strengths and guide you towards developing the necessary skills and tools to help you focus on growth and healing. My optimal goal as your therapist, is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can feel optimistic and empowered.
My style is warm, open-minded, and supportive. Through our therapeutic relationship, I will provide direction, support, and practical tools to empower you on your healing journey. Therapy can be a big step towards positive change, and living a happy and healthy lifestyle.
