I have been a therapist for 29yrs and have been privileged to share many patients stories of sadness, loneliness, anxiety fear and tragedy. I have witnessed courage, perseverance and the untangling of the recent past and the deeper past in order to live more healthily with themselves and in relationship to others. I believe the quality of the relationship between myself and my patients creates a safe space in which to explore both the conscious and unconscious factors that lead to the breakdown or impediments to the above relationships.

My therapeutic interests are varied, and are founded on a passion for connection and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for people to share, explore and grow. If nothing else, I am an advocate for having yourself reflected back at you in a supportive and empowering space. Through my own personal therapy, I understand the apprehension around sharing intimate information. However, I have consistently observed the value of being seen, understood and challenged in therapy. My ideal clients are adults, adolescents and couples that are curious about themselves and invested in collaborative work.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes, we all need a safe space to express what we're going through without fear of judgment. I believe in the powerful truth that it’s okay to not be okay. Struggles, doubts, and hardships are part of being human, and seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Through compassionate listening and practical counselling skills, I provide a space where you can be honest about your feelings and challenges. My goal is to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with understanding, resilience, and self-compassion. You don’t have to have all the answers right away, you just need a place to start.

My ideal client is motivated and honest and prepare to face their issues. A client needs to be committed to the process of change to reach their goals. Their issues include amongst others, dealing with trauma, loss, meaning in life questions, depression, anxiety, fear of the future, lifespan developmental challenges, and relationships. Their goals would be to clarify their issues and identify potential causes, both by gaining insight in their internal worlds as well as their interpersonal behavior. They acknowledge the spiritual dimension of existence and seek a meaningful relationship with God.

The journey of life is one of survival, joy and intense moments of struggle. It can feel overwhelming and at times like you are stuck. I believe that every person can benefit from seeing a psychologist to work through their challenges. I enjoy working with individuals who want to understand their minds, behaviours and how their past and present may impact their futures. I focus on talk-based and somatic psychotherapy, integrating various psychological approaches based on your needs. My passion for holistic mental health care stems from the belief that all parts of us are intimately interconnected, and we do not exist in isolation.
