I am a compassionate Psychologist who, for the past 15 years, has helped people learn about themselves in order to build confidence and resilience. I believe it is a privilege to work with people in this space so always aim to authentically connect in order to help them feel safe and heard. I use a combination of supportive, active listening skills as well as practical suggestions the client can easily implement.
My approach is holistic and person-centred and I am informed by Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Science, Somatic practice and Neuroscience.
I believe if we can be kinder to ourselves and understand that our emotions are necessary and provide insight into our underlying values, we can live purposeful and meaningful lives. I work with adults including employees in the Worker’s compensation system via online therapy, I look forward to working with you.

I work with people who struggle to emotionally regulate themselves. Once we learn and implement emotion regulating practices that empower us, we are better able to manage anxiety and depression as well as cope with stress. I work using a Polyvagal, Somatic and Attachment lens.

I use Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Science and Somatic practices to help people understand their Autonomic Nervous System so that they can confidently emotionally regulate themselves. The first session consists of building rapport, understanding you in your context and then exploring what brought you to therapy in order for you to gain the most from treatment.
