My specialization is in treating self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Life can often feel overwhelming and the impact of past and present experiences can have ripple effects on our wellbeing. I am passionate about supporting people who want to make a change in their lives. I use both person-centered and evidence-based practices. My approach is empowering, non-judgmental, and individualized, and I work hard to help clients follow through on the promises they make for themselves.
