You are here because you feel like you (or someone you know) may need therapy and are reading through profiles of strangers, scrolling through their videos and photos. It's a pretty common part of being on the internet nowadays, along with scrolling through memes and videos of food and cats. You may be looking for connection. Someone who speaks to you and may get you and your life story. I know what’s like, because I’ve been on that side of the screen going through that same process. Today may not be the day you choose to call or email, but you are scoping what’s there and most of it may sound pretty similar profile to profile.

I support people who understand the importance of healthy and stable relationships to repair, renew and relate more deeply.

I assist individuals and couples in relationship crises to gain tools and grow from attachment insecurity, infidelity and betrayal; loss of trust, passion or intimacy; ongoing conflict, overwhelm, anxiety, trauma, managing dysregulation and life transitions. When relationships break down, getting support is better than struggling alone.

Looking at our issues in a Holistic way allows us to understand ourselves better, which fosters self-compassion.

I work from an understanding that many of life's concerns stem from our past experiences in relationships and the structural difficulties that are present in our society.

I work with warmth and curiosity to help develop a deeper understanding of your area of concern and better make sense of why particular patterns might be causing distress.
