Experience and approach:

I qualified in 2016 and have been in full time private practice ever since.

My integrative approach is humanistic and integrates Gestalt and Feminist therapy among others.

A Feminist approach acknowledges the social and cultural influences of people’s pain and suffering due to living in a world dominated by a philosophy of individualism and a model of having “power over” others. Psychotherapy infused with a feminist perspective sees people as having equal worth regardless of their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity, etc.

Gestalt therapy holds that people intrinsically strive towards growth and balance in their lives. It focuses on increasing your awareness of the "here and now" to facilitate a deeper understanding of yourself. It looks at your past experiences as they relate to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present.

Ultimately, my approach is tailored to you and the theory is in the background. What’s in the foreground is our therapeutic relationship, in which my core intention is allowing our relationship to serve you.

If my values and approach resonate with you, I encourage you to contact me with any questions you have about working with me or to book a free consultation to see if we feel like a good fit.
