I honour the idea that the client is the one who heals themselves and that my job is to create an atmosphere and a therapeutic relationship that facilitates, evokes and inspires this.
I have worked with clients with a broad range of issues and with a broad range of backgrounds (substance use, homelessness, mental health, existential enquiry and much more). No matter what solution each person seeks, the starting point is always towards self-acceptance and increased awareness.

Therapy focuses on helping clients process difficult experiences, regulate their nervous system, and develop practical tools to navigate stress, relationships, and life challenges.
I work with young adults, adults and seniors experiencing trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, depression, and major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck in patterns they would like to understand and change. My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy, EMDR with an attachment focus, parts work, and somatic practices to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and deeper self-understanding. I provide an inclusive, neurodiversity, 2SQ+ affirming and culturally responsive space where clients can move toward greater stability, self-compassion, and meaningful change.

Feeling emotionally exhausted, depressed, burnt out or anxious takes up a lot of energy and mental space. I meet people everyday who are struggling to feel better, they are at the mercy of their thoughts and are living on auto pilot. Our mind is constantly selling us stories and putting meaning to our experiences; it is the meaning we attach to circumstances, situations and experiences that can cause the suffering. Counselling can help with this! If you have been putting this off and just surviving, this is a sign to reach out for help-and yes, I do believe in signs!
