We are all capable of growth. Is it time to uncover your deeper self and goals within an authentic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship? Our sacred capacity evolves through the practice of self-compassion. It fosters our natural ability to make desired changes in our life. Together, let's uncover your unique values and strengths to work through life's challenging experiences. I've been there too! As Carl Rogers says "Life is about being and becoming". To me, this represents our ability to work with our past, current and future self. Acknowledging and witnessing your own story creates a deeper self-awareness.

Let me support you in exploring and reflecting on your journey so far, and uncovering the path ahead of you. My approach to therapy is person centered, strenghts based and solution focused. With your therapy goals determined, self-awareness and skills are enhanced with approaches such as CBT, EMDR and parts-informed work.
At the heart of therapy is a caring conversation within a safe space that supports self-awareness and growth. As Virginia Satir stated "As a therapist, I am a companion, I try to help people tune into their own wisdom". With this, let your wisdom lead you should our paths be meant to cross for a phone consultation and potential journey.
