Great to meet you!

Individuals are clearly unique. We come from different backgrounds, attachment styles and family constellations. Naturally, we respond to different styles of therapy.

My approach to therapy

Typically I blend my Existential therapy with a wide variety of appropriate interventions from across modalities. (Behavioral, Trauma Informed, EMDR, CBT, Narrative Practice, Mindfulness) At the heart of it, the most important parts of therapy come from the environment we create together. I believe therapy is most successful when a client feels: respected, free to express their experience without fear of judgement, supported, and appropriately challenged.

What you can expect from me

I work hard to provide a supportive, creative and appropriately challenging atmosphere, with the understanding that my role is to create opportunities for clients to explore and ultimately find their own way.
