Being a human is hard; Whether you are looking for support with a specific mental health challenge, feeling stuck in life, or just not like yourself, I aim to be authentically human with you.

My clients and I find that with a deep and compassionate understanding of these nuances, we do not have to try so hard at, or "practice" our healing, rather it flows from a place of self confidence, clarity, and love.

My training is varied, and I work in an integrative way, connecting mind, body, and soul. My perspective on helping and healing draws from a blend of psychology approaches as well as a variety of complementary and alternative philosophies, such as mindfulness.

Finding the right therapist for you is key in your therapeutic success.

I work from a strength base perspective, specializing in individuals who have had early childhood trauma, with those who have C-PTSD, episodes of dissociation through to multiple personalities, personality disorders, ADHD or Autism, as well as with Couple and Family relationship issues.

The disturbance / horror clients witnessed, needs to be answered and mended through revealing, liberating, and engaging their immense inner strength with competent care - which brings about release, freedom and healing.
