About me
I believe in people, and care about them deeply. I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to explore and discover the version of themselves they are now, how they became that, and most importantly to bring out the version they want to become. I will hold your pieces for you, giving you the time and space to put them together in a way that feels safe for you.
I have been trained and use lots of different methods and modalities. I believe this is important because no two people are the same. I will work with you according to the needs you have, rather than trying to fit you into any model that I have learnt. It is very important to me that you know and feel that you are a whole person, one that I respect.
I started practicing as a therapist after I had been working in education for many years. I made the transition because I saw how many people don’t receive the individual attention they need as they mature and develop. I wanted to offer people that personal space to help them reach their own personal potential. I knew the potential that therapy could provide from my own experiences.
Aside from education and therapy I enjoy being in nature, writing, reading, meeting interesting people, learning, and spending time with family and friends.
