Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

Ideal clients are people who look fine on the outside but feel stuck inside: anxiety, overwhelm, trauma triggers, OCD patterns, grief, addiction, burnout, or relationship stress.
I’m a trauma-informed psychotherapist. I help adults and couples stuck in anxiety, panic, overthinking, shame, low mood, or repeating relationship patterns. Therapy with me is practical and grounded. We make sense of what’s happening, build emotional awareness, and learn tools to regulate your nervous system so life feels steadier.

Reading this shows that you are being proactive about taking care of yourself. While the motivation to seek support can often come from a place of discomfort or distress, therapy can help people move from crisis to personal growth. I offer compassionate expertise, psycho-education, support, reassurance, validation and guidance as healing resources for those that choose to work with me. You do not have to have anything "figured out" before contacting me; I know that starting therapy can feel like asking for something that is hard to ask for but important to get.

When we have experienced trauma or difficulties in our lives, we may feel a low sense of worth, lack of belief in ourselves, or struggle in relationships with others.
My therapeutic training is Integrative Psychotherapy. This means I integrate several approaches to therapy, including exploring life experiences and relationships and how they impact on how we feel about ourselves and others, supporting clients with trauma (from childhood or adulthood), and supporting clients in their search for meaning and well-being.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
