My passion lies in guiding you towards crafting and living a life imbued with meaning and purpose, aligning with your core values, goals, and aspirations. I operate within a holistic framework and recognise the significant interplay between mental and physical well-being. In my practice, I adopt a compassionate and a client-centred approach, helping you achieve a sense of empowerment and the confidence to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals.
I provide evidence-based intervention to children, teens, & adults with a variety of presentations: Autism, ADHD, PTSD / trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction. I provide diagnosis for Autism & ADHD, including cognitive assessments to understand potential areas of strengths and weaknesses. I use EMDR, ACT, DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care.
You will be provided with a supportive and nurturing environment, and the opportunity to discuss your concerns and explore your goals in a private setting. I am committed to working with you and providing exceptional care tailored to your unique needs, and to helping you every step of the way. LET'S TALK!
