I am a clinical and forensic psychologist who has experience and knowledge in a variety of areas including mood/affective disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, forensic mental health, substance use, anger management, and trauma. I help clients who are struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, and/or difficult or traumatic experiences, better understand what has been going on for them, and together, we will make a plan for how best to address these concerns.
Maybe you have decided that it’s time to quit drinking and you are seeking help with how to achieve this. Alternatively, maybe you've decided that you still want to drink at social events, but you want to cut down on your alcohol use. No matter what your individual goals are, I will work with you, so that you find our sessions meaningful and useful.
My therapeutic approach integrates years’ of professional experience and training with warmth, authenticity, and my own humanness. Our sessions will often involve a mix of understanding long-term patterns whilst developing coping skills that empower you to relate differently to yourself and others.

While therapy might initially seem daunting, my objective is to make you feel comfortable and to provide a space for you to explore your thoughts & feelings without judgment. The first session or two will be spent getting to know you and understanding your concerns and goals for treatment. We will collaborate to create a plan for addressing your goals, which can be revisited throughout treatment.
