Personal Statement

Are you looking for positive change in your life? You can get relief from painful emotional struggles! Personal growth through strength based counseling can guide you down the path to feeling better. I have over 10 years experience helping clients overcome depression and anxiety and build resilience using evidence based positive approaches. Psychotherapy, clinical supervision and strength based counseling to build resilience for positive lasting change.

I help people who are not living up to their potential, because they struggle with excess worry and fear, get relief from anxiety and create a more meaningful and happier life . I use evidence strength based tools and positive interactional approaches that help you build emotional resilience for lasting positive change.

In my experience as a therapist it is exactly the opposite of depressing. My approach is all about nurturing resilience and building tools for a richer, happier life. I help people discover more joy and wisdom. Instead of being depressing, my work is personally rewarding, and often inspirational and uplifting.
