As a psychotherapist with 17 years of practice, I work with couples and individuals to understand the patterns shaping their lives and relationships, make sense of what they are going through, and explore what may be standing in the way of change.
Many people who contact me already know that something is not working. They may find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling to express what they really think or feel, adapting around others to keep the peace, or feeling stuck between wanting something different and feeling unable to move towards it.
I offer a warm, relational, and active approach to therapy. My work is primarily informed by Transactional Analysis and delivered through an integrative approach, drawing upon theoretical, relational, and creative methods. I help people better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be standing in the way of change.
Most people who contact me already know that something is not working. Reaching out can feel daunting, particularly when life feels confusing, overwhelming, or uncertain. If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to get in touch. Together we can explore what is happening, make sense of it, and consider what may need to change.
