I am an integrative, and indeed, eclectic therapist, using whatever therapies I feel will help a client to overcome their problems. I am greatly informed by Gestalt Therapy, looking very much at the connection the client has with the "here and now" and with themselves. Using the relationship between myself and the client, we can explore connections and relationships, to challenge anxieties and beliefs, to find some resolution, to answer questions, and in fact, sometimes find out what those questions are.

My professional philosophy with regards to physical, mental and sexual health is that everyone should be able to discuss their experiences in a safe environment. Too often people are embarrassed or afraid to discuss these things with anyone and feel isolated. Many people have a difficult time discussing their physical, mental and sexual needs/ issues. My goal is to provide an accepting environment for clients to explore their needs and wants. Therapy is an effective and confidential way to grow as a person and learn healthy ways to connect with others and yourself.
