Description
Feeling stuck, insecure, or spiralling is what often brings people to see me. Within the safe container of a warm and genuine therapeutic relationship, I use proven therapeutic interventions to help my clients reduce their anxiety, improve their self-worth, and learn to trust themselves enough to take healthy emotional risks. Seeing my clients leave behind self-defeating patterns and move forward with more confidence and less reactivity is the most gratifying part of my career.
