Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. Therapy is a collaborative process that uses curiosity, courage and compassion to start exploring and unpacking all of the parts of ourselves and our experiences so that we can become connected to our wholeness once again.

It is my belief that through gentle exploration we can start to find the inner resources needed to move through and grow from these difficult experiences.
