I can help guide you through this process of change. I'm not afraid of the cases that have been tagged as "too hard" or the clients who have been labeled as "difficult".

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

This process can be scary. It can feel overwhelming. Especially if this is your first time trying therapy. I understand what it feels like when the mask starts to not work anymore, and it gets harder to pretend everything is ok. I want to help you to find peace.
