Email meAbout me
I welcome clients who want to understand or make a bit more sense of the challenges they're facing. Obstacles in life can leave us feeling stuck, invisible, alone or lost in our struggles to succeed. I am a strong believer in the therapeutic potential of being truly understood, seen and heard. With the right conditions, I have no doubt that we can be empowered to find our own answers and triumph over our difficulties with honesty and acceptance. I will work alongside you through discomfort, whether facing confusion or frustration, fear or loneliness. Offering safety and support in a bright, comforting environment, my hope is that we will get to a place where you can feel more content with yourself and where you're going.
