Description

Are you finding that a low mood or anxiety is getting in the way of your ability to perform at your best in your sport, your work, or in life in general?  Working with a therapist may seem a bit daunting at first, but the process can also be collaborative and empowering.

If you are looking to explore, develop and expand your skills and knowledge in order to deal with issues that you are facing right now, I invite you to get in touch. 

I also work with first responders and others who have experienced distressing events or trauma.

I work with adults (18+), as well as teens age 15 and up.
