Personal Statement
Teletherapy available. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sleep issues, stress, infertility, and life coaching. What can you expect out of therapy?
1) Reducing your symptoms: We’ll work together to help you feel better as soon as possible by reducing your symptoms, whether it be feeling anxious or sleep problems.
2) Figuring out the root of your challenges: We’ll explore what caused you to feel this way in the first place so you can anticipate and prevent these challenges in the future.
3) Building your confidence going forward: You will learn and practice new skills that will help you feel confident overcoming future challenges.
I use evidence-based techniques that have been proven to work. However, the specific focus of our therapy sessions will depend on your needs and preferences. There is no one size fits all and every client is unique. Our therapy relationship will be built on genuineness, warmth, acceptance, trust and openness.
Please call, email, or text me to find out more about our work together or to schedule an appointment. My practice is a 10 minute walk from the King Street metro station and I see clients during the evenings.
