Therapists in K9H

You are human, which means you're going to have difficult times, heavy emotions, and a need for connection - therapy is a great way to navigate all of the above. It is my goal to honour your individuality and be a collaborative participant in your journey towards self-exploration and personal growth. It is important that you feel understood as you are, in what ever uniqueness that brings. I work to create a strong, trusting bond with you within which we can make positive change happen - as a therapist, I will bring my most genuine self to you. Through connection and compassion, I believe that many things are possible.

I believe a therapeutic relationship is key to helping others. I truly believe that my own personal and professional life experiences have given me a unique opportunity in understanding others.

Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.
