One of the key beliefs that I hold regarding therapy is that clients generally know what is best for them.

This is done in a supportive, respectful and collaborative environement.

Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and forks in the road. Sometimes we feel stuck or like we're not on the right path. Sometimes we're overwhelmed or struggling to reach our goals. Sometimes painful feelings from the past just won't leave us alone. During these times, therapy can help. Therapy provides a protected space for you to explore the changes you want to see in yourself and your relationships and to reflect on what might be getting in the way. It helps you identify and harness the strength and resilience you already possess. Therapy is a tool to help you move out of distress and toward healing and growth.

Finding someone to share your experiences with, whom you can trust is an important step in your journey. I believe challenging times and experiences offer you the greatest potential to create the life you have wanted and dreamt of.

Many therapists say they work with couples but when your relationship is struggling you deserve to work with someone who has experience and training with a solid, well researched approach that provides a plan to help you.

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in private practice. I have helped many individuals to develop more peaceful lives, working through feelings of depression, anxiety and relationship struggles.
