“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

You’re here because you’re frustrated. You may often find yourself wondering - why am I like this? You react to things in a way that you wish were different. You’re aware that the way you think or feel is irrational or unhelpful, but you can’t seem to change it. You feel stuck & are seeking to understand yourself better.

I’m here to help you connect the dots between your past & present, to help you unpack & make sense of your experiences & to empower you to make positive changes in your life.

what therapy can do for you

Everyone is seeking therapy for different reasons; therefore, my approach to working with you is highly individualized to what you need. Overall, these are the things that participating in therapy can do for you & your life:

  • give you those “lightbulb” moments where you connect the dots & gain an understanding of why you operate the way that you do

  • make you aware of how your family & life experiences have shaped how you view yourself & the world
