Practice Information
Since 2002, I have supported clients in overcoming the barriers that hold them back from living fulfilling, meaningful lives. Life is too short to remain stuck in patterns of unhappiness, uncertainty, or distress. My goal is to help individuals develop a more positive and empowered outlook, while equipping them with practical tools to navigate challenges effectively. You do not have to carry the weight of trauma alone, and stress can be understood and managed with the right support and strategies.
With over 25 years of experience in the counselling field, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and an approved Clinical Supervisor. I specialize in helping clients clarify and achieve their personal goals by addressing underlying emotional and psychological challenges. My work focuses on providing effective coping strategies for concerns such as anxiety, distress, dissociation, and the impacts of trauma.
I hold a PhD in Psychology and have spent decades working extensively in the areas of stress and trauma. Throughout my career, I have received advanced training in a range of evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a certified therapist and approved consultant, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) (Levels 1–3, certified therapist and approved consultant). I also integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, assertiveness training, conflict resolution, and leadership development.
I have supported individuals experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, dissociative identity disorder (DID), anxiety, and depression. I take pride in the progress my clients achieve and am committed to providing a supportive, collaborative environment where meaningful change can occur. I look forward to working with you on your path toward healing and growth.
