You may find yourself caught in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from the life you imagined or feeling stuck in grief. Perhaps you find yourself often overextending to meet the need of others’ while your own needs go unmet. Or perhaps you are experiencing a major life transition. You may long for deeper connection to a partner & perhaps feel invisible in your relationship. If you're feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or simply ready for something different—you're not alone. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself or your partner, unpack and process your past, & move forward with intention & clarity.
I have worked with individuals & couples since 2010 & I have training in several modalities which allows me to intuitively integrate different modalities into my work based on your individual circumstances. I strive to create a therapeutic safe environment where you feel genuinely seen, heard & supported.
Therapy is a collaborative relationship, I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore what meaningful change looks like in your life. You can book directly from my website or send me an email to book. The first 20mins of your first session are free, if you feel we are not a good fit, we end the session. Appointments offered Mon, Wed & Thurs evenings.
