about 

I value openness, autonomy, curiosity, and expression. 

Psychotherapy in all its forms is a place where you may fully express your thoughts and feelings so you may act in accordance with your own values. It is in unexpressed wants, needs, and desires that we experience a misalignment with our true nature and/or our goals.  

Every individual has a unique perspective to share. Every couple has a unique dynamic that creates its own special dance (at times toes become casualties), every family has its history with all its joys and unwanted residues. All are welcome.

I provide:
* Individual Counselling: Adults
* Group Therapy: Topic-focussed
* Relationship, Couple & Marriage Counselling: Couples, friendships, polyamorous relationships, families, teams
* Family Counselling: All family scenarios
​
I have experience with individual matters relating to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, etc.,  and relational dynamics within systems involving more than one person. Creative blocks and other 'blocks' are therapeutic topics I have passion for. 
​
​I look forward to navigating your world with you.
