Life is hard sometimes. Really hard. Often we believe that if we’re struggling, something must be wrong with us. As a recovering perfectionist, I understand how challenging it can be to push through our stress and anxiety and fight against our inner critic that makes us believe we can’t. It can feel impossible not to get trapped by these thoughts and feel unsure about how to move forward in our lives.

My therapeutic approach focuses firstly on building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients - therapy only helps if the client feels safe and heard by their therapist, and I am committed to never taking a client’s trust and time for granted. Using skills based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, let’s help you learn to get “unstuck” from your difficult thoughts and feelings and to make space for them with acceptance and self-compassion. We’ll explore how to “put down the sword and shield” against your own mind and uncover your personal strengths and values to help you begin to make choices that are aligned with what you truly want for your life.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to discover their inner "superheroes", no matter what challenges they may face, and I believe that an empowered client is a healing one. My aim is to utilize the your personal strengths in order to build insight, improve relationships, and increase coping. My ultimate goal is to help you find the strength you need to "tie the cape around your own shoulders" and to support you in integrating the skills learned in treatment to create a balanced and positive life.
