"Over the years I have learned that people don't seek therapy because something is wrong with them. They seek therapy because they are carrying pain, uncertainty, loss or challenges that have become difficult to manage alone. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing and meaningful change can occur."

 

​Helping People Create Meaningful Change, Healing and Connection

I believe that every person has an innate capacity for growth, healing and transformation. Life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Whether facing personal difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, loss, spiritual crisis or a significant life transition, psychotherapy can provide a space for understanding, healing and change.

For more than 30 years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples as they navigate life's complexities and move toward greater wellbeing, resilience and peace. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate and collaborative space where together we can explore your experiences, deepen self-understanding, self-compassion and discover new possibilities for living life whole-heartedly.

While professional training and experience are important, I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant factors in successful therapy. A broad mind opens the door to therapy, skill and experience pave the way, and compassion heals the wounds as recovery and renewal become a new normal.
I consider it a privilege to accompany people on their journey.

And...  when I'm not working, I'm a peaceful person who enjoys the company of friends, kayaking, tennis, being in nature, live music, and dancing. I have a special interest in meditation and studying the spiritual traditions of the world.

Working With Couples

Relationships are central to our wellbeing.

When couples become caught in cycles of conflict, withdrawal, misunderstanding or emotional distance, it can be difficult to find a way forward.

As a Certified EFT Couples Therapist, I help couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck, reconnect emotionally, and create stronger, more secure relationships.

My approach is compassionate, practical and grounded in one of the most effective evidence-based models of couples therapy available today.
