I support clients with a desire to overcome difficult emotions and confusing interpersonal connections and live their lives with authenticity. By helping you connect with your own inner wisdom, informed by your unique lived experience and context, you will learn about, and discover aspects of yourself and patterns of relating which will assist in making sense of your experiences. In creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to talk about your thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours, I will help you to develop greater self-awareness, compassion, and understanding of yourself and your relationships with others.
With a background in psychology and psychotherapy, I've been fortunate to work with a diverse clientele including youth, adolescents & adults experiencing addiction, family violence, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Therapeutically, I'm informed by psychodynamic, attachment and trauma-informed theories and the principles of Internal Family Systems.
It's a privilege to be a part of someone's journey towards healing and growth, and if you're looking for a supportive and empathic space to explore your challenges and aspirations, I'd be honoured to work with you. I'm passionate about ongoing learning and fitness, I play and teach the piano and enjoy both live music and dining out with friends and family.

I work with clients in a way that acknowledges the different aspect of self that are often in conflict with each other. As a trauma-responsive therapist I will assist to manage and reduce symptoms of overwhelm, and creatively find (or return to) your life-enhancing passions. 'Focusing' helps you learn ways of relating to yourself which are essential to a harmonious, accepting and connected life.

I use an Integrated approach to treatment however, Focusing-Oriented Therapy is my preferred modality. In your first session we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then together articulate the aspects you wish to change. In noticing the whole of your experience - thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, you will learn to befriend aspects/patterns that may be out of view and hard to accept.
