Hello, and firstly, kudos to you for taking the first steps (or more if returning to therapy) on reaching out for support! Whether it is part of your self-journey, or to connect with your family, partner, or spouse, it takes courage, vulnerability, and commitment to ask for help. This is especially true within the chaos of our lives and the social pressures to put on the multiple hats (Parent, Partner, Child, etc.) that we wear. Therapy for me is about caring for the human facing me, and offering the space where we can collaborate together to find your lost stories, while respecting each persons authentic experience of life.
Coming from a Biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective that looks at the holistic parts of a person (culture, spiritual, medical, and psychological skills), the aim is to not just support you or your family in dealing with the symptoms you face, but to further create a deeper meaning that might bring longer-term relief across multiple areas of life.
Having been fortunate to have lived and worked in the United Kingdom, Europe, and various countries, my sense of adventure, travel, interest in new cultures, and respect, gives me space to appreciate our differences and strengths. Finding a fit takes time, so be kind to yourself and know that you have the power to build your own stories in therapy and life.

I support couples dealing with communication and intimacy stressors.
