Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same arguments, feeling anxious, or letting old wounds control your present. Anxiety, overthinking, or disconnection doesn’t have to define your life. I help individuals and couples break unhealthy cycles, face what’s holding them back, and build authentic connections. Therapy is about change — finding your voice, reclaiming your confidence, and moving forward with strength.

I offer 50-minute sessions in-person, via Telehealth or Walk & Talk.
Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical. I work best with people who want honest conversations — not just to cope, but to actually understand themselves. A lot of my clients come in feeling like they should be handling things better, or that their struggles aren't 'serious enough.' They are. Whatever you're carrying, I'm interested in understanding it — not diagnosing it from a checklist. I have a particular interest in working with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions — including veterans, wprkcover, CTP, LGBTQ+ clients, and people who've just found themselves at an unexpected crossroads.

I work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, or challenges navigating periods of change in their relationship. Many couples come to counselling feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling to reconnect, or unsure how to move forward together. I also support individuals seeking greater insight into themselves, their relationships, and the emotional patterns that may be impacting their wellbeing and connection with others.

The Break on Mondays for Walk and Talk and Tuesday in-person or Telehealth in our beautiful rooms, after-hours sessions available.
I help navigate those seasons where life feels heavy, uncertain, or out of rhythm. My clients are often insightful and self-aware, but find themselves struggling to regulate emotions, hold boundaries, or find clarity in relationships or direction in life. My approach is warm and honest; Therapy with me often looks like gentle curiosity mixed with real-world conversations about what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to shift. You won’t find jargon or endless nodding here! I ’ll meet you with compassion, ask thoughtful questions, and help you make sense of what’s underneath the patterns that keep you stuck.

Many men struggle to identify, process, and express deep emotions in safe, constructive ways. We delay seeking help, hide pain in unhelpful habits, and isolate when relationships break down. This pressure affects us and the people we care about. It can become a self-defeating cycle, but it’s one you can break. These emotions can feel massive or wrong, but they’re normal. You’re not broken. You're not alone.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
