For many years I worked in the public sector offering therapeutic support to individuals, and their families, with mild to severe mental health and addiction challenges. I served a diverse population from many different walks of life and have found that we all share the common experience of being human. I have been privileged to share their journeys and to be part of their story of healing. 

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Perhaps you are considering therapy so that you can connect with someone non-judgmental and outside your personal support system. You want to explore meaning and purpose in your life. You may be feeling anxious or worried about what’s happening to you personally or find yourself withdrawing from others and no longer find joy in things that brought you pleasure. Or it may be that substance use or a habitual behaviour is getting in the way of meaningful relationships and meeting life’s challenges. Our time together would be spent uncovering some of the less desirable patterns of thought, feelings and behaviours related to any of these life areas. We will endeavour to understand these patterns and I will support you on taking steps towards more desirable thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. 

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you on your journey including dialectical behavioural therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, internal family systems, emotion focused therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, harm-reduction, brief solution focused therapy and the triphasic model of trauma therapy.

If you are interested in working together, please connect with me.
