I mainly use an array of different somatic modalities including Gestalt, Somatica Method, Somatic Experiencing and art therapy.
Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at. Single, coupled and everywhere in between.

If you notice patterns of anxiety, disconnection with self, over-riding, people pleasing, perfectionism, functioning so well, until you can’t, and overwhelm - you’re in the right spot. I offer you a compassionate space to explore experiences from a holistic approach, to foster integration and ease - that sense of being ‘home’ in your body. I draw upon psycho-education (so you feel informed), various Somatic approaches (embodiment work), Narrative, and others that align with you. We work together to understand conscious and subconscious patterns, and their effects on your life to begin to unwind, so you can create meaningful change.

However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work.
In session I work to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and develop effective coping strategies for a range of emotional difficulties. In addition, through the use of creative interventions I work with clients to develop a stronger sense or self, build self-esteem, and improve social skills.

The psychodynamic approach can help us gain new insights into our lives, and by integrating art into the session, it can become a powerful mind-body-oriented resource for individuals to look into themselves, and at their concerns, from a different angle.

It can be challenging to articulate our emotions and experiences - using art materials in therapy can help us express and more deeply understand ourselves.
I will meet you with openness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. I believe that you are the expert on your life and you already possess the wisdom and capacity needed to heal and grow. I believe in an unconditional gentleness and acceptance towards self, and in focusing on curiosity and play rather than productivity.
