I work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges — whether you’re living with low mood or depression, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, navigating anxiety or grief, healing from trauma, managing chronic illness, or feeling stuck in your relationships or inner life.
My therapeutic style is flexible and integrative. I draw on humanistic and person-centred principles, psychodynamic insights, cognitive techniques, existential reflection, and mindfulness-based approaches to create a space that fosters insight, growth, and healing, tailored to your needs.
I work with individuals facing low mood, anxiety, grief, trauma, and chronic illness. My style is flexible and integrative to foster insight and growth tailored to you. As an ACC Sensitive Claims provider, I bring care to trauma survivors and those navigating loss or health challenges, with a focus on building resilience and supporting men's issues.
Alongside my professional training, I bring personal insight from 30+ years of partnership and raising three adult children. This journey grounds my practice in realism and empathy. My style is integrative—blending psychodynamic depth, cognitive tools, and mindfulness to match your needs. Let's begin this journey. You are welcome just as you are.
