Talking to that right person during a time of need can be like good medicine. Talk therapy provides you with a safe place to discuss your thoughts and emotions triggered by daily stressors, physical illness, relationship issues, grief and loss, the impact of a specific life circumstance or trauma. My role as your psychotherapist is to help you better understand how these stressors affect you and your life, and work with you to uncover considerations and solutions which help decrease distress, improve well-being and the confidence to make choices for your life which are true to you.
My professional experience includes 30 years working in conventional and holistic healthcare. I have worked as consultant, educator and healthcare practitioner. These years have informed my understanding and appreciation of therapy clients who struggle with life challenges; emotional, mental and physical.
Scheduling an initial consultation makes it possible for you to share about yourself, gather more information to determine the type of therapy best suited for you, and to experience how it may feel for us to work together. Should you decide not to continue on, there will be no charge for the initial consultation.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and depression often related to grief. The loss may be a relationship, a job, the death of someone close, a long held dream or physical health. During initial sessions we explore the impact of your situation and address them in ways that help reduce your suffering. Most clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms over time.

My training is in psychoanalytic therapy, also called insight-oriented therapy. In sessions we explore concerns on your mind, present and past experiences, and the hopes, and vision you have for yourself and your life. Results from this type of therapy include a greater sense of wellbeing, improved personal and professional relationships, increased independence and enhanced everyday functioning.
