A relationship that thrives and gives you fulfilment will bring the kind of lasting happiness that enables you and your partner to grow and create deeper bonds. When an important relationship becomes strained or distressed, the pain you feel can challenge you to the core. I work with you in order to reveal the dynamics of your relationship - the patterns that you have built to protect the wounds that you have suffered. Together we will explore and uncover the hidden beliefs and unconscious drivers that are the triggers of your difficulties in relating to yourself or partner. We long to become present to ourselves, and connected.

Radically accepting yourself - and understanding your true desires and values - can set you on a more meaningful and fulfilling path. Looking at our issues in a Holistic way allows us to understand ourselves better, which fosters self-compassion.

You are here because you feel like you (or someone you know) may need therapy and are reading through profiles of strangers, scrolling through their videos and photos. It's a pretty common part of being on the internet nowadays, along with scrolling through memes and videos of food and cats. You may be looking for connection. Someone who speaks to you and may get you and your life story. I know what’s like, because I’ve been on that side of the screen going through that same process. Today may not be the day you choose to call or email, but you are scoping what’s there and most of it may sound pretty similar profile to profile.

I support people who understand the importance of healthy and stable relationships to repair, renew and relate more deeply. If you are tired of playing out the same relationship patterns, if your relationship struggles with gridlocked conflict, lack of intimacy or the hurt of infidelity, I can help. I assist individuals and couples in relationship crises to gain tools and grow from attachment insecurity, infidelity and betrayal; loss of trust, passion or intimacy; ongoing conflict, overwhelm, anxiety, trauma, managing dysregulation and life transitions. When relationships break down, getting support is better than struggling alone.
