I am deeply committed to helping individuals experience meaningful and sustainable change that is true to the life they want to live.  My therapeutic style is very gentle and empathic, and I believe developing an authentic and safe therapeutic relationship is key to creating positive change.

 

I use evidence-based principles and strategies to support my clients in their problem areas and empower them to experience greater levels of resilience and wellbeing. This involves working with unhelpful patterns of behaviour, thoughts, feelings, and relationships to establish new patterns that better serve their goals and values.
