How we feel has a big effect on how we see ourselves, others and our world. These feelings can be frustrating, scary, hurtful or worrying. They can either have been there for most of our lives, gradually crept up on us or come as a result of our current situation. Often, when we are struggling, the most challenging part is not understanding what we are feeling or thinking, understanding why or knowing what to do about it.

I am a general psychologist with over 30 years of experience. I come to therapy with a non-pathologising view of symptoms and behaviour. My view is that the vast majority of symptoms of "mental illness" are an understandable response to various life circumstances. Some deep in our past, some in our present. I am passionate about helping people to heal, grow, and live full lives. I enjoy working at deep levels to shift stuckness, often the result of prior trauma. I work only with adults.

As a therapist, I understand the need for warmth and acceptance. This is the foundation of a therapeutic relationship where people can show up with aspects of themselves that are problematic and unhelpful without judgement. I can relate to very human uncomfortable and undesirable behaviors, feelings and beliefs about ourselves. Through consistent support, compassion and curiosity, positive change becomes possible.

You've outgrown surface-level support — and you know it. You may be navigating grief, trauma, burnout, spiritual crisis, or a disconnection you can't name. You've sought help before, but conventional counselling left you feeling reduced or unheard. Spiritual spaces offered insight without psychological grounding. You've done some of the work, read the books, and you're standing at a threshold you can't cross alone. That threshold is exactly where this work begins. What you're getting with me is someone holds psychological depth, energetic competency, and spiritual fluency — an authentic combination rarely found in one practitioner.
