Helping couples reconnect and individuals heal with empathy, honesty, and heart. I’m a marriage and trauma therapist with over 30 years’ experience, working internationally online. My approach blends compassion with evidence-based methods Imago, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), EMDR, and more to help you communicate better, rebuild trust, and live with greater peace and purpose. You don’t have to stay stuck in the same painful patterns. Together we’ll explore what’s really happening underneath the surface and begin to transform it teaching you new skills in a no blame no shame environment.
I’m passionate about helping couples rediscover their closeness and renew their commitment. Together we learn how to really listen, to hear not only words but emotions and how to respond with empathy and validation. My goal is to create a warm, safe space where you can both drop the defences and start working together, without blame shame or criticism.
We often grow up believing that marriage should simply make us happy, but lasting connection is something we create together, not something that just happens. I’ve seen again and again that when couples and their therapist work with honesty and effort, relationships can transform into their greatest source of love, learning, joy and passion.

I work with couples and individuals on every type of stress or challenge that today's lifestyles bring.If you don't feel change after two sessions, then I am not the right therapist for you. Therapy doesn't need to be for years, sometimes we can have a breakthrough early on which will help you understand behaviours and give you tools for growth and change.Pain is inevitable-suffering is optional!
