Have you ever found yourself thinking after an argument with your partner, "How did we get here?" You sit there wondering how everything went wrong, you used to have so much fun together!

However that doesn't mean you should end it. With a little work we can get your relationship back on track.

I am committed to guiding every individual through the challenges life throws at us by working from the inside out, to achieve mental wellness. I have recognized the need to address these problems and begin the healing process at the root but most of us avoid these problems until they create symptoms at the surface. We can choose to view these symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, as problems or we can find the courage to acknowledge them and ask ourselves “What is our mind and body trying to tell us? What thoughts are we purposely avoiding? What are we running from? What would happen if we no longer let our symptoms control us?

Life gives us all sorts of things we never asked for or weren't prepared to handle. How we process those things is important.

I take a relational partnership approach to each of my client's healing journey. We work together to walk back where your emotions are stemming from and how to process and move forward towards a meaningful & fulfilling life.

As your therapist, I will strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space for you to feel supported, validated, and empowered. Therapy is about you, and you are free to bring whatever emotions, feelings, and issues you are currently experiencing.
