Hi! I’m Ruth, an experienced and compassionate psychologist dedicated to helping you overcome life's challenges and find growth and balance within yourself. With over 20 years of experience as a psychologist, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward mental well-being.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored specifically to your unique needs. I have a particular interest in working with people recovering from trauma, as well as those experiencing stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. Together, we can explore strategies that foster healing, resilience, and personal growth.
I incorporate a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies in my practice, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, EMDR & Flash Technique. These approaches are tailored to meet your individual needs and help you effectively address trauma, manage stress and anxiety, and develop healthier coping skills.
When I’m not working, I enjoy walking, gardening, and spending time with my animals, friends and family. I have spent most of the last 20 years in a rural area, and since returning to the city, I am adjusting to the changes this brings. I believe that a balanced life is within reach, and I look forward to working with you to help you find yours.
