About me
Part of the reason I love my work is because I love meeting new people. As a therapist, I love learning about the lives of others and helping them find the best ways to face difficult situations. I believe true progress can only be made in a place of safety and kindness; I hope all clients feel the compassion I bring to our work.
Therapy is a place of change, growth and acceptance. Beginning the therapeutic process can be intimidating and change can seem challenging. That is where I come in - I will work with you to determine areas of your life that may need some adjustments, changes or complete rebuilds! I have worked with children, adolescents and adults who seek therapy for a variety of reasons. I have helped clients address issues relating to anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, relationship struggles and transitional life stress. I believe in a humanistic approach to therapy; I believe the focus of therapy is and should be the client. The techniques that I use in therapy will depend specifically on need and presenting issue.
