The last few years have forced many of us to get quiet, to listen to our inner voice and think about what is really important. We may be confronting old fears, looking at what we want to take with us into the next phase of life and what we are ready to leave behind. My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are and allow you a safe space to process past hurts and begin to move forward. Therapy can help you to heal.
Specializations: Issues related to attachment, relationships, anxiety, body image issues, anger management, yoga, mindfulness, fertility issues, parenting struggles and families

Forms and Practice Policies
Group therapy allows people with similar issues or goals to come together in a supportive setting to share experiences, gain insights, and offer each other encouragement. It fosters a sense of community and connection, allowing you to learn from others' perspectives and experiences. This can enhance self-awareness, and provide practical feedback all while reducing feelings of isolation. The collective support and diverse viewpoints often lead to meaningful personal growth and improved coping strategies.
