Recognising that you're struggling and taking the first step toward seeking support requires great courage. You're not alone and I am here to help. As an experienced psychologist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to ensure we find the right fit for you, making therapy a meaningful and effective journey. I am trained to work across the lifespan, offering support for children, teens, adults, and retirees.
If you're dealing with relationship issues, low mood, anxiety, or trauma symptoms, I offer tailored support using proven approaches like CBT, Narrative Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, EMDR, NET, and approaches to treat psychosis. I am currently specialising in supporting our youth and adults with severe mental illness including trauma.
I love my job and am deeply passionate about helping you tap into your own inner resources to overcome challenges, creating lasting change that continues beyond our work together. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and interactive, with a focus on exploring how our intersecting identities (such as faith, gender, race, and more) shape our experiences.
