Are you ready to slow down? To get unstuck? To discover a deeper sense of well-being? Transformational change is possible but healing is not a solo journey. I am passionate about supporting my clients to unlock a more genuine experience of themselves. Together, we will work to cultivate awareness, courage, confidence and steadiness in your life. I work with people who want to find clarity, a sense of aliveness, and to heal from both the bruises and scars that life sometimes creates. I can help you discover a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your purpose in the world.
With 15 years in the field, I can help you find calm in periods of intense stress, get unstuck from old patterns, increase your confidence setting boundaries and build comfort with a wider range of emotional expression. My specialities include: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, men’s issues, LGBTQIA+, and ‘people pleasers’.
My style is warm, inviting, attuned, present-moment focused, and reflective. I utilize a holistic approach to psychotherapy, drawing from a number of evidence-based modalities. My perspective is informed by the influence that race, ethnicity, culture, class, spirituality, gender and sexuality have in shaping our experience.
