I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

In psychotherapy, the foundation of our work is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and collaboration. You bring deep knowledge of yourself and your situation; I bring clinical skills and an outside perspective. Together, we create meaningful change. Our approach balances structure and flexibility—focused enough to work toward your goals, yet open to whatever thoughts and feelings arise each session. This allows therapy to feel natural and responsive to your actual experience rather than following a rigid formula. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck, you'll find a collaborative partnership where you're genuinely heard as we work toward the changes you need in your life.

In the therapeutic relationship the relationship itself is what matters most because, without the relationship, recovery and progress would not be possible. I am a client centered, compassionate, and passionate counsellor who values the integrity of the therapeutic relationship (alliance). Clients will benefit becauase of the therapeutic relationship along with their own desire and commitment to learn and make progress. Through the therapeutic relationship there is hope, opportunity, transparency and growth. Psychotherapy is successful due to the therapeutic relationship. This therapeutic alliance is proven to be 85% of the process leaving the other 15% for processing and healing.
