I am a counsellor and body-based psychotherapist with special interests in all aspects women’s health, trauma and couples therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to find a place of healing and recovery and I'm not the kind of therapist that is ok with “feeling better” if better is still a long way off being truly well.

Wellbeing is a multidimensional mix of getting your physical, mental and social health in balance, and I have a team of Counsellors working at the practice to support you in your healing.

I approach therapy with an appreciation for the difficulty of putting experiences into words, and the uncertainty of where to begin. Rather than taking a position of knowing, I welcome being curious about what emerges over time. While therapy can be challenging work, there is often great beauty in the process of coming to know oneself more deeply.

Specialising in high risk adolescents and adults, I offer contemporary psychoanalysis and EMDR resulting in powerful therapeutic benefits. Integrating several types of therapy (CBT, solution focused, problem solving), psychoanalysis informs my work in terms of the way I conceptualise the client's current problems and EMDR (as needed) results in a faster way of processing trauma. Combining these two therapies provides effective in-depth therapy with relatively brief therapy. If you have been suffering with unresolved psychological trauma, I can help you to overcome the problems that are keeping you from maximising your potential.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples and have a passion for empowering you on your path forward.
Many of my clients are navigating couples / relationship dynamics or are processing lingering impacts of past experiences. Often high-functioning and thoughtful, they find themselves stuck between who they are and who they want to be. If you are hoping to feel more secure in yourself and/or your relationships, if you are seeking to reconnect or find meaning, if you are looking to learn to respond to life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence, I can support you on your journey.

My approach to therapy is to use an integrated model because every person I work with is a unique individual with their own set of circumstances. I'm open minded, non judgemental and interested in helping clients to explore the contents of their hearts and minds to better understand their internal struggles, interpersonal relationships and how they exist in the world.

Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure where your relationship is headed? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. I work with individuals and couples who are facing life’s big stressors: betrayal, breakups, self-doubt, parenting struggles, ageing parents, career shifts, retirement, and more. Relationships can be hard. So can life transitions. But with the right support, you can move from confusion to clarity, from disconnection to meaningful connection.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
