About My Practice Individual Therapy: Life and the relationships we form have a way of launching feelings and experiences our way that we're not always prepared to handle.

The way you live and approach your life can be shifted into a more positive direction to allow you to increase your self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness. Relational psychotherapy is about providing you with a safe, ...

I support clients to explore how they typically deal with life challenges and how over time they have adapted creatively to survive.

The goal is self-awareness, the essential springboard of personal growth. Growth only happens in the context of a relationship. The relationship between client and therapist is a microcosm of other relationships in the client's life. Within the safe container of the therapy session we are able to ...

Entering psychotherapy is not an easy decision. It takes a lot of courage to trust another person with your history, dreams, desires, fears, and problems. Anything that you say in session could easily be said to a mirror in your own home, and yet, it makes a significant difference to say them to another person especially when that person is explicitly there to hear it, understand it, and reflect on it. No matter your age, personality, or background, talking helps. Coming to a better understanding of your own life and its content opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities that would ...
