Kudos to you! It takes such strength to acknowledge and respond to your needs and therapy is an incredibly effective way of gaining insight to promote self growth and achieve happiness. Our behaviors and day to day interactions with the world and the people in it, as well as how we feel about it, are based on a series of different parts; our thoughts, our experiences and our life events. My aim is to help you navigate difficult events, repair unhealthy interactions and get to the root of the issue; reframing unproductive thoughts and negative experiences so it is no longer hindering and you can become a better you.
My experience has been working with adults of all ages, adolescents, couples and families with varying mental health needs, addictions, life traumas, destructive behaviors and communication patterns. My approach draws on various therapeutic techniques and modalities and my aim is to meet your needs using whichever approach will be most effective for you.
You can feel better, you can do better, you can think better and ultimately you can live better. so, lets get started, shall we? I supervise and work with a team of clinicians that I will gladly put you in touch with if I am not available for scheduling. Email is the quickest way to reach me!
