My work starts with a focus on the therapeutic relationship itself, which must be safe and affirming to create the trust that supports change. My approach is gentle and collaborative, but also direct in order to best help address challenges in your life. I highlight self-compassion in my work, helping to connect to your strengths, struggles and pain. It is my belief that personal growth occurs when we explore all aspects of ourselves, examining our patterns and the ways in which we react with the world and our loved ones. Making the first step to getting into therapy can be difficult, and it is so important that the space you enter feels safe and accepting. I strive to create an atmosphere that allows us to be curious about your emotions and relationship patterns, while also utilizing humor and compassion. I believe a well-matched therapeutic relationship is crucial, and I am committed to ensuring any potential client is working with a therapist they believe is a good fit, whether that is myself or someone else. Areas of speciality include anxiety, career transitions, relationship issues, parenting concerns, and substance misuse.
