Have you experienced a loss in your life? Any type of loss can be painful, isolating, life changing, and sometimes confusing. Or maybe you've experienced a life transition. Life transitions can include starting a new job, moving to a new country, starting a new relationship, or a loved one becoming ill. Life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, angry, or directionless. Even joyous transitions can be impactful in unexpected ways. These feelings are very normal, and a way of our bodies telling us that we’re not okay. What we often need during these times is a space to heal. Healing starts from feeling safe.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be a monster, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master!

Do you have a sense that something isn’t working for you? Whether vague or specific, do you know that something is off? You are doing your best, but it feels as though nothing is shifting. Now what? Together we can map out where you keep getting stuck within yourself and in your relationships. We will look for patterns in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. As a Gestalt therapist I work from the premise that the awareness of one's fixed patterns opens the possibility of change. Deeply understanding "what" you are doing and "how" you are doing it opens the door to trying something new.

The gestalt therapeutic process is a creative journey where the therapist’s support and presence invite you to explore what is most meaningful in your life, including what feels painful or difficult. I hope to support you to more fully trust and listen to your inner knowing, and to find more space to experiment with new approaches to what might feel like old or stuck patterns in your relationships and your engagement with the world.

I am a relational psychotherapist. I would describe my way of working as integrative which means that I draw from all my trainings to work out how best I can help you. I am trauma informed and am also influenced by psychodynamic, person centred, self-psychology and humanistic theories. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients with a wide range of presenting issues although I have a particular interest in working with women with ADHD. I have recently trained in attachment focussed EMDR which I am enjoying incorporating into my client work.
