My Approach
As an integrative therapist, my approach is influenced by a range of therapeutic approaches. While my work is fundamentally humanistic, I also draw on elements of transactional analysis, psychodynamic theory, and cognitive behavioural therapy. Collaboration is at the centre of my approach, and ultimately therapy is something we work on and develop together depending on your goals and needs.
My approach invites you to explore all aspects of yourself, from the parts that feel strong and resourceful to the parts that may have been pushed aside, silenced, or judged as unacceptable. This can involve inner child work, exploring unmet needs, and developing greater self-compassion. I also support clients in learning to regulate emotions more effectively, uncover their core values, and reflect on what truly makes life meaningful.

About Me
As an integrative therapist, I work with a wide range of issues including trauma, adverse childhood experiences, sex/porn addiction, substance addiction, attachment issues, and relationship issues. I offer an open, trauma-informed approach that allows you to work at your own pace and within your own readiness and comfort, honouring your experiences while supporting growth and self-understanding.
Perhaps you’ve found yourself trapped in recurring patterns that you just can’t seem to get out of and you’re ready to make a meaningful change towards becoming a more authentic version of yourself. Many of us may find ourselves trapped in negative thought patterns or belief systems that get in the way of our development and growth. Unconscious patterns and behaviours can skew our view of ourselves and the world around us and may affect our relationships.
A key role of therapy is developing self-awareness so that we can understand the various parts of ourselves that make us who we are. Some of these parts can be hidden away in the shadows, considered too vulnerable or unacceptable to be fully presented to others. Finding healthy and appropriate ways to integrate these parts is a key element of therapy. As a therapist, I work with clients to help them develop a better understanding of themselves and their behaviours, and I walk alongside them to help foster greater self-compassion and self-awareness.
Working from a client-centred perspective, I let you lead the sessions with what feels most important to you. We can collaboratively agree on a structure and work out what works best for you. As a practitioner, the key areas I focus on are exploring your relationship with yourself, with those around you, and with your body. I take a holistic approach to therapy that encompasses all of your experiences. My way of working is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is at the very centre of effective therapy. I place a strong emphasis on creating a safe, compassionate, and boundaried space where you can bring your whole self.
I work relationally, meaning that the connection we build together is an important part of the process. Therapy is not something that is done to you, but something we do together. It requires both of us to show up, even on the days when that feels difficult, and to engage in an honest process of exploration. I bring warmth, openness, and curiosity to our work, but I will also gently question and challenge where this feels helpful, always with the intention of supporting you to grow and to see yourself more clearly.
