Great to meet you!

Hi there, I would love to provide a safe space for healing and growth for you. I come to this work from needing support myself. This vulnerability adds a great deal of empathy for anyone who has the courage to want to improve their life and do their work. I also have a previous life as a professional actor and substance abuser who was professor of all things theatre. I work with individual adults and adult couples of any orientation who are struggling with feeling stuck in life, have anxiety, depression, substance misuse, shame, relationship problems, trauma, and many other issues. My treatment style is attachment-based to help clients better understand the root issues related to thoughts, behaviors and relationship patterns. I incorporate neuroscience to target the whole individual: the body and mind. I am certified in brainspotting for trauma processing.

My approach to therapy

I meet you where you are and help identify patterns and communication styles that can be modified to improve your quality of life. I have also helped many people with PTSD and childhood trauma find a more sustainable life.

What you can expect from me

In the first session you will get to know me a bit and I will be taking notes and asking questions to help identify the goals for treatment and areas for us to focus on. Your opinions are golden because I work for you and want you to get the most out of the therapeutic relationship.
