My ideal client is an adult seeking support for anxiety, stress, depression, low motivation, insomnia, burnout, anger, or relationship difficulties. I have a strong interest in supporting my clients to develop emotional regulation, a robust identity, and the capacity to handle life transitions. I also work with people experiencing gut-brain symptoms such as IBS and health-related anxiety, using evidence-based approaches including CBT and hypnotherapy. As a military veteran myself I am passionate about providing care to service personnel and first responders.
I provide a calm, supportive space to help people navigate all of life's challenges. I have experience working with clients from children through to end of life and always strive to place the therapeutic relationship first. Aside from general mental health concerns my niche areas are in working with military veterans and people suffering from gut disorders.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite yourself, you don’t have to manage it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what you’re going through. I’d be honoured to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward feeling more steady and supported.
