Feeling out of sorts? Relationships not working? People not understanding? Feeling alone? Wanting to change life, change relationships, change patterns of behaviour? I can assist you in clarifying your thought patterns and develop new strategies to enjoy positive and emotional wellbeing in your daily life including your relationship with others. Managing issues relating to Child abuse? Family violence? Sexual assault? Experiencing Post Traumatic Stress disorder that leaves you feeling confused, dissociated, angry, highly anxious or fearful? Together we can work through these issues and regain a sense of emotional wellbeing
I am an individual/family/relationship therapist that can assist people working through their relationship issues in a non-judgemental manner that increases their skills in relating to others and may assist some through times of separation. I develop plans with my clients that assist them in understanding themselves and strategies that empower them.
As a therapist for 28 years I have worked with many individuals and couples and understand the complexities of life and the transitions we are constantly moving through. With my professional knowledge and experience, my goal is to assist others in achieving their emotional equibium and state of wellbeing within themselves and in eir relationships with others

I work with clients experiencing trauma and ptsd and various mental health issues related to this. As a result they are struggling in relationships with themselves and others. Sessions provide psychosocial education and strategies to make sense of and empower themselves. In Couple therapy positive results usually occur within 5 sessions, then moves towards rebuilding a new way of being together.
