Do you feel anxious often, reliving events from your past or worrying about the future? Perhaps you second-guess yourself, struggling with your own mental wellness, your relationships, or family stress. That’s a miserable way to live, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Even when things seem like they will never improve, know that you can create and experience a happier future for yourself. You deserve not only to feel better, but to wake up every morning ready to enjoy the day. I can’t make that happen for you, but I can be your guide and show you the way to find happiness for yourself.

I bring more than 30 years of experience as a psychologist, working in a variety of settings with all kinds of people. Some of the people I've met with have been waylaid by disappointments or losses, and are struggling to recover. Some have made choices that have taken them into unhappy cul-de-sacs. Some have been slaves to habitual patterns that sabotage even their best choices. Some have been afraid to take necessary risks. And some have just been plagued by the sense that more might be possible. There are so many ways that we can suffer! And we all do, one way or another.

For 23 years. Providing psychotherapy, counselling and mindfulness training to clients suffering with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life struggles resulting from new or complex situations that experience has not prepared them for. Many seek therapy because they want their situation or behaviour to change, but are stuck in a pattern of repeating exactly those things they hope to change. My role is to help you uncover and understand your current situation and what may be keeping you in self-limiting patterns, help you learn and apply new skills, and provide tools for managing symptoms and navigating new experiences.

My practice is integrative - I combine psychodynamic "talk" therapy, with aspects of CBT, DBT, IFS and trauma methods (somatic experiencing, Brain Spotting), in a mindful and transpersonal framework.
I spent years in research settings exploring depression in women, especially during times of hormonal changes. Although scientific findings inform my work, and I am happy to provide psychoeducation to clients, I am committed to an overall holistic approach that considers the interplay of biology, culture, spirituality, and social position to mental health.

Life is a journey of constant change, filled with ups and downs. At times, it can feel unsettling and overwhelming. As we transition back to "normal" life after COVID, feelings of fear, anxiety, stress, anger, guilt and shame may be heightened. Are you lacking energy and motivation? Are you dealing self-doubt and finding it hard to make the right decisions? In your relationships, do you struggle to feel heard and understood? Feeling disconnected from your true self is a difficult reality to face, but know that there are solutions to every problem.

We face overwhelming levels of uncertainty and complexity today, and I believe life is more spiritually and psychologically challenging than any other time in modern history. The pace of our lives and its demands make it harder to tend to our inner life and connect with ourselves, our healing, and our wisdom. Yet our inner life is the foundation for our well-being, our growth, our psychological flexibility, and our capacities to be resilient and make the most out of our lives.

Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

When you can’t see a way forward out of the patterns you once built to stay safe, life can feel like a repetition of the familiar. You might find yourself longing for a new way of being, yet feeling anchored to old ways of responding. You are right to seek a shift. My approach helps you move beyond just "understanding" your history and into the lived experience of your present. By weaving together nearly two decades of dedicated somatic practice—including teaching yoga and meditation since 2009—with clinical training in depth-oriented counseling, I have integrated somatic wisdom with depth-oriented inquiry.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
