If you're reading this and are in a couple, chances are your relationship is in crisis. You and your partner have grown apart and you don't know how to reconnect and trust each other again. I can help you break the cycles keeping you disconnected. You'll feel closer to your partner, rediscover yourself, and build a future that honours both your needs. If you're a woman, chances are you've been systemically disempowered. You feel invisible, you’re exhausted, what you want is constantly out of reach. I can help you learn the mechanics of power, not for empowerment as a feeling – for power as a skill to get everything you want.
My approach is warm, practical, and directive, and it has Attachment and Commitment Therapy at its heart. You will leave the sessions with tools you can use straight away to shift how you communicate, how you think, how you show up.
Most of my clients see dramatic improvements in just a few sessions, because of these highly effective tools and because they have someone who really sees them. Whether you're in a crisis or done shrinking, I'm ready to work with you. Book an assessment session to discuss your goals and potential ways of working together.

My work is directive, practical, and brief. I use a collection of evidence-based tools with ACT at the heart. Treatment begins by getting crystal clear on what you actually want, not what you think you should want, uncovering desires you may have buried to keep others comfortable. From there, I teach you tools to step outside of the patterns that keep you stuck so you can build the life you want.

Therapy with me is collaborative and requires active participation. You'll get practical tools each session and homework to practice them in real life. The transformation happens between sessions when you experiment with what you've learned, in conflicts, in conversation, in daily decisions. Results depend on commitment - clients who do the work see dramatic shifts quickly.
