About Me

I want my clients to get the most out of life, and to live contentedly despite life’s challenges and limitations.

I will treat you as an individual with your own story, your own goals and your own struggles. Whether you are suffering from a life-long struggle with depression, or facing your first crisis, we will work together to make life better. There are many well-proven forms of therapy, and I’ll help you choose one to suit your personality and comfort level.

  • We’ll identify your strengths, challenges and options.
  • You will learn to manage those difficult emotions, develop new healthy coping skills, live a full life.
  • You’ll gain confidence and be more relaxed facing day to day challenges. I will work with you to create a safe space, free of criticism. We’ll work at the pace you are comfortable with, easing emotional pain and making sense of life’s challenges. I won’t tell you what you should do, I’ll help you find your own wisdom and good judgement in the situation.
