A therapeutic space for exploring, working through, and growth.

Welcome to my practice. I am a clinical psychologist who aims to provide space to explore, understand and gain insight into helping people heal and grow.  I understand that life can be challenging, and difficulty with coping can easily lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health difficulties. My aim is to provide a supportive, safe, and confidential environment to explore your present, your past, your thoughts, and emotions with the aim to greater self-understanding. My hope is that this may lead to a life that is more consciously lived – with awareness and real intention in thoughts, actions, and relationships with others.

My approach to therapy is to meet you where you are, to understand your uniqueness and let this be the starting point for a journey towards growth. With this understanding I aim to assist you to develop the tools and coping strategies to respond to each challenge with increasing balance and mindfulness. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and imago couple’s therapy.

I have learnt on a personal level that we all share in our innate humaneness, and a gentle and forgiving approach is so helpful as we all learn, unlearn, and aim to do the best that we can. This requires a commitment to forgiveness for when we are unable to handle the stress of life as we desire, couched in the knowledge that continuous growth is not a linear process but one of committing to our best, again and again.
