About Me

My practice is rooted in compassion and understanding, offering a safe space for you to explore and grow. With a MEd, MA in Counselling Psychology, and PhD, I help clients uncover patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

My own personal experience with psychotherapy has been transformative and I understand the vulnerability of self-growth firsthand. It is through this lens that I approach therapy with empathy and a genuine understanding of the courage it takes to seek support.

I am trained in trauma-focused and mindfulness-based approaches such as Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy, Dr. Kate Truitt’s CPR for the Amygdala, Guided Meditation, and the Flash Technique, among others. My work addresses concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, and relationship challenges. Whether working with individuals or couples, every session is tailored to your needs, helping you move forward with clarity and intention.

How Therapy Can Support You

Together, we’ll explore past experiences, identify unhelpful patterns, and build tools to foster self-awareness and healthier relationships. Therapy can support you by:

  • Recognizing and shifting unhelpful behaviours

  • Processing unresolved emotions and trauma

  • Strengthening self-awareness and resilience

  • Building deeper connections with others

This is an opportunity to uncover your authentic self and create meaningful, lasting change.

Practice Approaches

My therapy draws from evidence-based methods, including:

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Fosters healing in a safe, supportive environment.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores deeper patterns to cultivate self-awareness.

  • Attachment-Based Therapy: Improves connections and builds stronger relationships.

  • Mindfulness Practices: Enhances emotional awareness and reduces stress.

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy: Promotes self-kindness and emotional balance.

Your therapy experience is uniquely tailored to empower your growth and well-being.
