Therapists in V1Y
We are all struggling in our own ways through many challenges of life. The past is essential for understanding the present and shaping our future. I work collaboratively with Clients to discover their self-identity and navigate ways to explore their inner strengths.

My work as a therapist is informed by human resilience and our intrinsic drive to heal. I believe that we are oriented towards growth, and the integration of trauma, life experience and pain is the doorway to actualization. I see therapy as a tool for becoming, it is process of unfolding, discovering and meeting yourself. This work can be challenging: struggle is part of the human experience, however, so is transformation, connection, and change. I work closely with those who have experienced trauma, disordered eating and body image issues, and anxiety and depression.

Are you looking for support with anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship issues, trauma, or just becoming a better version of yourself? Know that you are not alone. I believe that life has a way of making us feel lost, we lose touch with our inner compass, making it difficult to navigate relationships or to tap into joy. You shouldn't have to take this on alone though, which is why it is my goal to come alongside you so we can wade the complexity of life together. I know with the right support life doesn't have to feel so "blah". If you are ready to dig deep, you are in the right place!

Sex doesn't have to be a chore. It doesn't have to be another thing to scratch off your weekly To-Do List. Is it run of the mill, get it done and move on? Or is it a straight up “don't touch me, I don’t have time for this crap?”. However, your partner keeps saying that sex needs to be a priority in your relationship, or they'll be forced to leave. Or they would like to explore an open relationship. Lingerie, sex toys and endless research hasn’t changed anything and in fact you feel worse than you did before. You still lack any connection and safety in your relationship, which is really what you want, (other than an equal workload).
