About Me

Hello and Welcome

Changes and challenges are inevitable in life and can often feel scary, intimidating and impossible to overcome, especially when we are experiencing it alone. As these changes and obstacles continue to present themselves we naturally become overwhelmed and feel stuck in a pattern we are not satisfied with. This stuck feeling can make everything appear hopeless. I would like to work with, support and guide you to help demonstrate that this stuck feeling does not have to be permanent and that significant healing can occur with even the smallest of changes. These small changes eventually add up and aid you in creating a fulfilling life.

Why choose to work with me?

As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and competent services to those seeking support and guidance. With a specialization in ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and self-identity, I am committed to helping individuals navigate the challenges they may face in these areas with a trauma informed lens. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique experiences and needs of each of my clients, and I work collaboratively with them to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma or questions about your identity, I am here to help you find the clarity, insight, and tools you need to move forward with confidence and resilience.

“You are not broken and in need of fixing. You are wounded and in need of healing”
