I currently only offer virtual sessions. The best way to reach me is via email. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your courage to seek support and every effort that brought you to this point in your journey. The human experience is deeply complex and I believe most mental health challenges stem from our innate desire to survive, connect and be accepted. By becoming aware of your relational patterns (past and present) and emotional responses, you can foster better understanding of yourself and others. With the right support, you can start to heal injured parts and live life with more clarity and insight.
I offer an integrative approach that's collaborative, trauma-informed/specific and compassion focused. I believe in personal agency and human resilience. I can help you to rewire responses that might have been adaptive for you once upon a time. I can support you to build internal safety and trust so you can develop your own compass to navigate the world.
You deserve to love and be loved. You are not alone in your journey, therapy as a profession exists precisely because of how universal the human experience can be. I'm not here to pass judgement or pathologize, but to walk with you and offer perspective. I would be honoured to hear your unique story and bear witness to your healing.
