“Be kind to yourself, friend” – Ted Lasso 

As a therapist, I am passionate about facilitating positive change and empowering individuals to rewrite their life narratives. Grounded in solution-focused and narrative therapy approaches, my practice centres on fostering resilience, uncovering strengths, and co-creating new solutions and narratives that honour each person’s unique journey.

Informed by solution-focused principles, I believe in concentrating on the present and future possibilities rather than dwelling on past struggles. Together, we identify and amplify your existing strengths and resources, while exploring small, achievable steps that move you closer to your desired outcomes. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, embracing the power of narrative to shape a more hopeful, purposeful, and fulfilling future. 

My personal journey with therapy was what inspired me to pursue becoming a therapist. At a time where I was experiencing hardships with my own self-esteem, life-transitions, and relationships, I turned to counselling to help guide me towards positive transformation and change. Through this first-hand experience, I witnessed the profound impact that therapy can have on an individual’s life, which fostered a sense of desire within me to help guide others towards a similar transformative experience.

With a commitment to inclusivity and respect for diversity, I create a safe and affirming space for people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. Whether you are navigating issues related to self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, or other challenges, I offer compassionate support and guidance tailored to their unique needs and goals.

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you hoping to feel more like yourself again or gain some self-awareness or understanding? Are you tired of stress, anxiety, or low mood showing up every day? Do you want to learn strategies to manage your mood or communicate differently, and say goodbye to strategies that don’t fit your life anymore? Do you want to learn more about the “why” and “how” you show up in your relationships? Has trauma or addiction been something that has followed you around long enough? Whether you’re an individual or a couple, together we can look at what you’re hoping to get from therapy and how I can support your goals.

I’ll take what I know and help teach you the skills you need to cope differently, communicate with your partner or friends/family more effectively, and hopefully support you in helping you achieve a goal of feeling differently. Through our work together we can build a framework to help you better understand yourself and what you need.

With a Honours degree in Psychology, I am upgrading my education and I’m in the process of completing my Masters degree. I take a trauma- and culturally-informed approach to supporting ADHD, trauma, stress, anxiety, and couples, and I have a passion for helping people build confidence in themselves.
