I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience in the field. I believe that a supportive yet engaging therapeutic environment can help us process and identify patterns in our lives, both positive and negaitve. By building on our strengths, we can better overcome challenges and change the patterns that we want. I provide pschoeducational, neuropsychological and psychological testiting for all ages, focussing on generating individualized and realistic treatment recommendations. In parenting education, I focus on non-coercive strategies derived from neuropsychology, social psychology and learning theories to maximise parenting skills while minimizing family stress.

From time to time we all have encountered personal and family struggles. I believe in providing a holistic and comprehensive approach. This allows for exploration of feelings and thoughts in a safe and encouraging environment. Through this process individuals and their families can achieve more balance and wellness in their lives.

People seek my professional help for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, something in their lives is just not right. They may wish to make specific changes or to understand themselves better. They may struggle with their relationships, have difficulties in their jobs or studies, and/or old traumas continue to negatively affect their present. Also, sometimes they just don’t know what to do with their inner voice that is too critical and sabotages their lives. Therapy or counseling is not always about making big changes or exploring past issues. It can be used to simply have a place to check-in and stay attuned with themselves.
