Our Services

I assist adolescents and adults who experience a range of psychological difficulties. My areas of interest include (but are not limited to) relationship difficulties, negotiation of major life transitions, bereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, substance use and self improvement.

My approach

In my psychotherapy practice, I am deeply committed to aiding each client in realizing their intrinsic potential. I am passionate about preventative mental health, emphasizing early intervention to proactively address and prevent further difficulties. I firmly believe that clients are their own experts. I work with the aim of creating a collaborative space that encourages sharing, personal growth, and continuous learning.

Recognizing the vulnerability inherent in the therapeutic process, I prioritize creating an environment that feels safe and secure. This sense of safety and trust is crucial for individuals to delve into challenging experiences and emotions, ultimately fostering healing. I am acutely aware that our existence is not in isolation, we are intertwined with various systems, including relationships, families, work environments, cultures, histories, countries, and legacies. An understanding of these systems is key to understanding individuals and assisting in their development.

I am guided by a psychodynamic approach as well as integrating cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy when appropriate. I am a Registered BWRT® Practitioner which is a therapy I use when appropriate for trauma and anxiety.
