Most of us have a sense of the reasons for our difficulties. Yet, we still struggle to work through those issues, understand how they all fit together, and make lasting changes. My approach to therapy fundamentally involves helping clients to find insight about their difficulties through coming to a deeper understanding of themselves, and about understanding how trauma has impacted their lives. One of the ingredients to my approach is self-compassion. With self-compassion comes the ability to see oneself clearly, freedom to become one's true self, and relief from self-consciousness, depression, shame, fear, and anxiety.

I have completed masters practicums in private practice and at the Saffron Centre, where I have integrated multiple counselling theories from psychodynamic therapy to compassion and acceptance based trauma counselling. One of my continued areas of study includes 'moral injury,' and the emotional consequences of dilemmas.

If you book with me, you will see that I have a safe, relaxed, and natural conversational style, which I balance with my role as a professional, wherein I will use what I have learned from my years of studying psychology and counselling, to take your concerns seriously, and do my best for you.
