Welcome to my website. Psychotherapy is an opportunity for positive change. By visiting this site you’ve taken the first step towards improving your life.

By working with me, you’ll have safe and supportive environment to explore and express your thoughts and feelings. You’ll have a non-judgmental, interested listener who will help you figure out your goals and next steps.

Using the right combination of therapy methods and clinical insights, I’m here to help you get unstuck from your emotional struggles and become fully able to live your life.
