I am passionate about working with older adults as they navigate addressing challenges arising in their lives. I fundamentally work from attachment-based approaches, recognizing the immense impact of our early childhood experiences, traumas, and ruptured relationships throughout our lives.

Through looking at the impact of our emotions on our well-being, we can create space for meaningful, secure and safe relationships.
