THERAPY STYLE

With over 15 years of experience working with children and their families, in both school and mental health settings, my goal is simple – help you discover your own path. Too often, we become preoccupied and consumed with what society tells us is “normal” and how we need to fit ourselves in that box. Forcing ourselves or our loved ones to conform to societal expectations can trigger anxiety, depression and other emotional distress. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, we will work together to navigate YOUR norm while building the confidence needed to unlock your greatest potential and achieve an improved quality of life.
