My passion is my work, I love being a therapist. I want my clients to feel safe, heard, seen and validated. I work with clients from many different walks of life and with a variety of issues they want to work. Fundamentally you have to understand how your experiences in life have shaped you into the person you are. Genetics, your family system, the external culture and the systems that govern your life; all play a role in how you have learned to cope and function in this world. Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts tend to make sense when we explore our own stories. You are not broken, you are human
I work with an awareness of a whole body approach. Our work together will help you to become aware of how your life experiences manifest in your thought processes, feelings, behaviours and also your physical body. I believe that therapy is a space for you to explore, to understand and to meet yourself in a way that you may not have yet experienced.
I care deeply about helping my clients to find their way towards stability and regain their sense of self. We will work to understand faulty core beliefs and establishing new ones that support a healthy inner world. I truly believe we are all capable of change if we are able to find the right support.
