I have a holistic approach to health and wellness, my hope is that you live a great life, not just a life without illness. I'm most experienced working with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and personality disorders, including BPD.
I work with couples because relationships are one of the great joys in life but also a source of challenge. In couples therapy you will learn about how you relate and connect while developing interpersonal skills. I'm most experienced working with disconnection, infidelity, separation, rekindling, and life transitions.
Major influences include: Irvin Yalom, Nancy McWilliams, & Orna Guralnik.
I use an eclectic approach including dynamic psychotherapy, TFP, gestalt therapy, IFS and cognitive therapies (ACT, DBT, CBT). I have an honours degree in philosophy (from a former life) and an interest in existential psychotherapy. I offer collaboration on insight development and perspective change, and experiential techniques that change the way we feel.
I've been honoured to share the therapeutic space with many wonderful people. While it can be tough to take the first step you will not go through it alone.
