In my role as a clinical psychologist I will listen to you, the expert in your own life, to guide us in your treatment goals. Therapy can be short term and specific, or you may wish to have a safe and contemplative space to explore re- occurring themes in your life. You may need to examine and reset patterns of behaviour so your family/relationships can flourish and enjoy wellbeing, or you may be a performing artist or student struggling with performance anxiety, perfectionism and goal setting.

Are you feeling anxious & afraid, not knowing why? Feeling stressed & overwhelmed? Are you frustrated with relationships, locked in the same unhealthy patterns of relating to others? Do you feel the criticism & disapproval of others? Feeling frustrated & annoyed, shocked at the intense power of your anger & rage? Do you wonder at the point of all of this, asking why am I here? Does the voice inside your head constantly put you down? We understand that life can be difficult. That’s when psychotherapy & counselling can help you manage these difficulties and offer strategies for moving forward.

I bring four decades of experience in mental health, art, design. I work with individuals, couples, and family members who seek to change their relationships with themselves and others. I aim to open possibilities to people who have little hope for change, struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms, feeling overwhelmed and lost. This is often accompanied by counterproductive soothing behaviours such as substance use, addiction to gambling, gaming, sex, or screen use. Further, some clients may stay in relationships that deepen their belief that they cannot become the agents of their own lives.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.

I believe that therapy is a time and space to work on what's important to you. I have experience helping individuals overcome a wide diversity of life's challenges and the consequences that follow, including depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, grief, trauma, and complicated relationships. Although I also recognize that often the personal challenges that many of us face do not fit neatly into diagnostic labels and I hope to appreciate the unique aspects of every individual I have the pleasure of working with.

It can be hard to talk about what's going on for you, whether you're going through a difficult time, struggling to understand yourself, feeling unsure of your path forward, or generally feeling overwhelmed with life. Connecting with someone you don't know can feel daunting, especially if you've had tough experiences in the past. Having someone you trust to keep the most vulnerable parts of you safe can be immensely healing.
