There are so many different reasons people have for wanting to seek therapy, and it can be daunting to look for help. My approach is warm and empathic. I like to work collaboratively with clients to explore what has been troubling you, to gain insights together as to what contributes to these feelings and where your difficulties may have stemmed from. My work is supportive, confidential and consistent. Ultimately, I hope to work with you to enable you to live a fuller, happier life that feels more satisfying to you.

Art Therapy is my primary treatment method: a gentle and considered way to explore challenges and issues. I always speak about the 3 E's that you will encounter as we work together. AT is emergent, experiential & embodied. It is more than talk therapy alone. Through creative processes we can locate and reconsider experiences not easily put into words. I enjoy holding space to share your thoughts, feelings and future ambitions visually. As a lived experience practitioner with a history of recovery, I understand how challenging it can be to seek support, but welcome folks trying a session to see if you find my style a good fit.

Do you feel that the life you always pictured for yourself is somehow out of reach? With the everyday stresses of life and work and expectations of both, time has not been on your side. This can produce anxiety or depression or just a flat slow feeling that further stands in your way a full happy life. I can offer a coaching approach as a registered coach with the International Coaching Federation. I can offer personal, or couples relationship counselling, or assess any situation that is holding you back in your work or social relationships.

Human beings are a part of evolution's legacy, and despite some contrary indicators to this, I like the idea that we are at the leading edge of an unfolding universe. That makes us complex, and since birth we've made it this far by having a bunch of needs met. But needs change as we grow and often we end up with deficiencies in those needs that cause pain and suffering. To thrive there are universal human needs that must first be met, including needs to be seen and heard, understood and respected. Both individual and couple therapy offer the opportunity for those needs to be met, so we are better equipped to move on.
