Taking the first step to begin therapy can be difficult. I'm here to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore the factors that have shaped your present circumstance. By deepening your understanding with self-compassion, we can help you connect to your inner strengths and wisdom, and empower you to change habits of thinking and behaving that are no longer serving you. Whether you are struggling with low mood, negative thinking, difficulties managing stress or anxiety, feeling unsatisfied in your relationships or work, or feeling generally unfulfilled or stuck in your life, therapy can help.
Drawing from different therapeutic orientations, I work to gain a holistic understanding of you. I tailor therapy to best meet your needs by using evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapies, modern psychodynamic approaches, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based practices.
I am committed to creating the trust necessary to support this process. My style is warm and collaborative, but also direct and solution-focused in addressing your life challenges. It is extremely courageous to make this first step into counselling and it is my privilege to come with you on this journey.
