Does any of this sound familiar? From the outside, it looks like you have a great life, but you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop. You feel like an imposter who's about to be found out any day now. You’ve noticed unhelpful patterns in your relationships. You feel ‘stuck’ but don’t know quite where you want to go. You're in a new phase of life where everything suddenly feels different. You’re exhausted and scared that life is never going to get any better than this. Something has to give. You’ve decided that thing is not going to be your mental health anymore. It's time for a change.
Now imagine... The inner critic shuts up and you actually enjoy your life. You're able to figure out who you are and reflect that in how you live. You have better relationships and learn how to ask for what you want without feeling guilty. I want to help you achieve this. Whatever your situation, I will listen and help you make positive changes in your life.
Whether you're looking for personal growth, healing from the past, better coping skills or just a listening ear, I’m ready to guide & empower you. I'd love to meet you at a free consultation- you can e-mail me or book a time directly from my website. There's no obligation, and if I’m not the right therapist for you, I’ll help you find one who is.

Like many mental health professionals, I use a range of therapeutic methods and strategies, depending on what goals are most important to you. My primary approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you notice and name your difficult thoughts and feelings, and create practical strategies so that they don't stop you from moving forward in your life.
