I like to work with my clients to identify their individual needs, wants and goals. Regardless of age or the difficulties experienced, what I have found is the most important part of a successful journey is the therapeutic relationship. Connection, collaboration and understanding is what can allow us to break through the challenges you are experiencing and help you reach your goals. I am skilled and passionate about the following presentations: • Mood and Anxiety disorders • Trauma • Grief and loss • Stress/burnout • Relationships difficulties • Parenting stress • Men’s mental health • LGBTQIA+ identifying clients
I use evidence-based approaches however, I understand that everyone is different, therefore I tailor these based on individual needs. I draw on modalities such as Cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I also incorporating life skills, experience and a down to earth, more 'real' approach as it adds another dimension.
Finding the right psychologist and beginning your mental health journey can be quite daunting. If you think we might be a good fit, then I look forward to meeting you and the work we will to do together.

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. But more importantly, I tailor our work to you, because everyone brings their own history, personality, and pace. I also lean into the real-life, human parts of therapy, the stuff you won't always find in textbooks, to make sure our sessions feel meaningful and practical.
