Living comes with hardships. Maybe you’re worrying all the time and you don’t know how to stop, or finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning. Perhaps you’re weathering the storm of loss or feeling beaten down by self-judgment. When we are in pain, we need support. As your therapist, I will offer that support by providing a safe and nurturing space for you to process what hurts and move toward healing.

I address a wide range of problems including: stress & anxiety; depression; unresolved anger; forgiveness; grief; bitterness; low self-esteem; identity crisis; conflict; family issues; marriage conflicts; crisis intervention.
My approach is to allow you to bring your past into the present so that you can develop skills that free you to thrive in the future. I provide a safe, open and encouraging space to equip and free you to do three things: * identify automatic negative, limiting or unproductive thoughts and behaviours, and imagine a life beyond them; * move from the bondage of those thoughts and behaviours, into a freedom of intention and choice where you can live life with purpose and passion; * develop the skill to sustain this freedom on your own.
