I enjoy working with clients grappling with disordered eating and body image issues. As someone with lived experience of once having an eating disorder, I understand the complex challenges of discovering what is best for your body while being immersed in societal pressures.

My ideal client is the person that knows they need help. They do not have to know what kind of help, but open to talk therapy and exploring possible forms of relief. I have worked with children and adults with issues such as; anger, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Behavior Modification, depression and anxiety. It is most comforting to help someone find relief from discomfort. I provide individual, group and family therapy. The counseling scope includes parent coaching, anger management, trauma, and school guidance.

Talk therapy initially can be helpful as an avenue to receive support from a trained professional. Therapists listen with compassion and curiosity as you begin to sort out what isn’t going well. Life’s difficulties can be complex. A structured conversation with a therapist will help untangle these complexities allowing the beginning stages of change to emerge. Work with a therapist can start the process of understanding what is going on, what has gone wrong, and also what can be done to start making improvements.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years working with adult clients around issues of mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders and relationship difficulties.

I offer empathy, experience and a non-judgmental stance in the therapeutic relationship. My style is eclectic depending on an individual’s needs, with foundations in DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing and best practice models for psychotherapy.

My goal is to support my clients by providing a safe, accepting environment for self-exploration.

Are you feeling unsettled in your life but not sure what would help you to feel better? Are you feeling stressed out by your relationships in your life?
