I am passionate about helping individuals develop a better relationship with their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. The intention is to develop self-awareness and insight to overcome the coping styles that may no longer be helpful.

​

I tailor my intervention to the individual’s needs and draw from a range of therapeutic models to equip them with skills to take on life’s challenges. I am sincere and respectful in my practice and aim to empower clients in a space where they feel safe and valued.
