I offer therapy that’s grounded in connection, warmth, and emotional safety — with a special interest in animal-assisted approaches. I work integratively, drawing on a range of evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs, including CBT, DBT, trauma-focused interventions, Interactional Pattern Analysis, person-centred therapy, and equine-assisted work.
My approach is relational and attuned — whether we’re exploring the dynamics of a child’s behaviour, building emotional skills, or unpacking the deeper patterns that keep you stuck.
For clients who feel overwhelmed by traditional therapy, I offer creative and embodied pathways to healing, including nature- and animal-assisted methods.
These approaches can foster safety, trust, and emotional regulation in ways that go beyond words.
At the core of my work is a calm, respectful presence — and a belief that therapy should feel human, collaborative, and meaningful. Whether you're here for yourself or your child, we'll move at your pace, with compassion and care.
