Therapy can lead to shifting and changing, creating a sense of ease in your life to overcome barriers that have been holding you back. Do you tend to worry daily about many things? Are you afraid of making a mistake or feeling embarrassed when you are in social situations? Do you have intrusive thoughts that lead to ritualistic behaviour? Do you struggle with panic attacks? Do you have low energy and motivation to do things in your life? Are you feeling down a lot? Has trauma resulted in a cycle of fear, shame, intrusive memories and avoidance? Please reach out if any of these sound like you.

My passion is to walk with people on their journey towards a life that is rich and meaningful. While we can't change painful experiences from the past, we can work together towards better understanding and resolution of them in the present. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will explore and challenge long-standing behaviour patterns and/or negative perceptions which may be problamatic. Whether you are looking for extra support or guidance through a particular challenge or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I will work with you towards achieving your goals.

We are not neurologically hardwired to figure out difficult emotions on our own. Taking the step to slow down and explore personal challenges can be overwhelming – but with therapy, it can be transformative. Therapy is a space to be heard while feeling psychologically safe. It is the opportunity for collaborative discussion and offers a space for curiosity. This leads to self-growth and lasting change as we learn to better cultivate meaningful connections with ourselves and others.
