You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, or grieving a loss. Perhaps you feel pressured or stuck and unable to be your true self, impacting your relationships with your partner, colleagues, classmates, or family members. Sometimes memories of family violence or childhood abuse can further complicate your situation, making you feel isolated and disconnected from others. Perhaps you're challenged by relationship challenges. Know that you don't have to be alone with these challenges. Support for your emotional and psychological wellbeing is available. Please contact me to see how I can help.
As an experienced, trauma-informed, psychotherapist, I help clients connect with their emotional & psychological needs, and attune deeply and holistically with themselves and what they're going through. You'll be supported in pausing & listening to your whole self moment-by-moment, at a pace that's right for you, and in experiential, bodily ways.
You'll come to know your next steps for change that feel right. You'll find your way of carrying forward in life-enhancing ways. It takes courage to start counselling, or to return to counselling if you've had counselling before. Please phone or email me, or head to my website to see how I can help.

Clients experiencing anxiety, depression or trauma are welcome. Initially, we explore what troubles you the most to understand & acknowledge your struggles. Then we plan how best to work together to begin the healing process. After a few weekly sessions most of my clients experience a gradual shift in symptoms & start to feel better within themselves & in relationship.

We'll initially explore your concerns & what you hope to get out of therapy. We'll decide the best ways to process what's going on uniquely for you. A focus on your emotional & psychological difficulties leads to small & often big shifts that lead to lasting change. I use a FOT (Focusing-Oriented Therapy) & EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy) approach that is trauma-informed, experiential, & inclusive.
