Life is often unpredictable and challenging; and you shouldn’t be expected to hold it all on your own. My approach as an Integrative Psychotherapist is rooted in the belief that we are fundamentally relational beings, we need others to help us understand our own experience. I strive to create a safe and judgement free space for clients to be curious about their own minds and bodies in order to better understand their emotions, patterns and conflicts. Our work is not just focused on solving problems; it’s an invitation to a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you.
My practice is always trauma informed, collaborative and tailored to the specific needs of each client or couple. I draw on my training in attachment & developmental models along with polyvagal, existential, systems and psycho-dynamic theories. Alongside talk therapy my work is somatic & experiential supported by exercises, meditations and visualizations.
I work with individuals and couples (or other relationships) in person & online. I welcome people who are LGBTIQA+ identifying, those outside gender binaries and offer a sex positive space. I strive to be culturally aware and always welcome learning about specific customs and needs.
