Therapy approach:
As a therapist, I believe we each possess the capacity to thrive and are all deserving of happiness. Whether you are facing increased symptoms of depression/anxiety, feeling overwhelmed/distressed or struggling with a recent loss/change of life circumstances I am here to help. To be a guiding light and a grounding force as we build a therapeutic partnership. The beginning steps of acceptance, heeling and change can feel scary and at time unattainable. While working together I will be sure to provide you with a safe, warm and nurturing environment, where you feel empowered and supported to pursue your goals. We will build upon your natural strengths and identify realistic and effective coping skills to help you combat whatever life throws your way.
