Change can be hard but I believe a strong, therapeutic alliance and supportive environment will help put you on the path to living a more meaningful life.
I am particularly passionate about helping women navigate life challenges and relationship difficulties so they can live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I combine my experience, knowledge and personalized approach to help you meet your goals and overcome many of life’s obstacles.
My areas of expertise include early childhood abandonment, anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, interpersonal and relationship difficulties.
