If you are struggling with low mood, depression, anxiety or stress I would love to help you to be able to enjoy your life again, feel more confident, calm and content. If you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder I can assist you in helping improve mood stability and develop good lifestyle habits to help manage your mood. If you are having thoughts of suicide I can help you to feel hope again and to ensure you feel safe and connected. If you are questioning your gender identity, I would be honoured to help you explore this and walk alongside you and support you if you decide to socially and/or medically affirm your gender.
I have been working with adult clients for 19 years and offer warmth, curiosity, empathy and patience. I aim to provide a safe space for you to talk about anything that is important to you and explore your thoughts, feelings and needs. I also provide strategies to assist you to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. I provide WPATH reports.
I have lived experience of chronic mental and physical health conditions and understand the time, effort and cost of managing mental and physical health conditions. I am a very caring, responsive therapist and value the vulnerability, bravery, strength and dedication it takes to make yourself a priority and seek care for your mental health.
