Specializes in

Anxiety, PTSD, Stress, and Trauma

Great to meet you!

I specialize in anxiety, using ACT and CBT in my therapeutic work. I have additional postgraduate training in performance enhancement and working through performance anxiety. As a professional musician, I particularly enjoy working with performing artists and others whose work demands high performance (eg. healthcare, business).

I also have experience in treating trauma. I am trained in EMDR and CPT to help people process past events that are getting in the way of fully engaging with life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have an approachable, warm, down-to-earth style and want you to feel safe to explore your inner world without fear of judgment. I work collaboratively, believing that you are the expert in your own life. I love helping people not only manage stress and anxiety but thrive under pressure. Although I am solution-focused, I understand the impact of trauma and early attachment experiences and am trained in EMDR, ACT, and CBT/CPT to help you process these if desired.

What you can expect from our first session

I collaboratively work with you to explore what is important to you and what kind of person you want to become while accepting the person you are. In challenging you to work towards goals that are meaningful for you, I may offer suggestions or figure out together what you can do each week. I am honored to come alongside those who want to work through unresolved trauma. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate space and provide the tools needed for people to feel empowered to do the work.
