Welcome to my practice, serving couples and individuals. My professional goal is to make every client feel heard, understood and professionally supported. I know that life and relationships can be demanding and complex and I bring empathy, heart and mind into the therapy room, to help clients find better ways of dealing with their everyday life and feel more comfortable with themselves and others. I hold a Master of Counselling, am registered with PACFA, and use evidence-based counselling approaches, such as: Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman method, Motivational Interviewing, and Problem-Solving Therapy. I refer to established childhood attachment theories and their manifestations in adult life and incorporate current studies on trauma into the counselling interventions. I have worked with adult men struggling with loneliness, difficult emotions, and understanding their role in society and women striving to accomplish their potential, as they navigate societal expectations and pressures of the modern life. As a counsellor I am non-judgmental and honor the client's autonomy and life choices.. I invest in professional development, use clinical supervision, and adhere to professional codes of ethics. I am also a certified career coach with 20 years corporate Human Resources experience.

I empower families to understand, identify and meet their children's and their own emotional, sensory, academic, and physiological needs, in order to foster strong family connections and build a healthy foundation for mental health into adolescence and adulthood. I support families to adopt a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach to parenting and coach adults before, during and after identification of their neurology.

Offering personalised counselling services with a focus on relationship and emotional wellbeing, I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Attachment Style Counselling to help individuals and couples improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen their emotional connections. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, fostering healing and personal growth.

I am an experienced counselor and I am passionate about helping clients grow, heal and overcome challenges in their life. I am an integrative therapist and uses many modalities to help clients, believing that everybody is different and as such their therapy journey will be different.
