About me
I have been a psychotherapist for 16 years; helping people is my true calling! I’ve always been a good listener and can listen with warmth and empathy! No judgement. I think that comes from going through tough times in life. It teaches you about humanity, your fallibility. My journey of growth and change over the years has informed my practice.
Most recently I have been heavily influenced by Dr Laura Markham’s peaceful parenting approach. I apply it in my own parenting and also in my practice. If you are looking for help with parenting this is the standpoint from which I come.
Before I became a parent I went through a long struggle with infertility. I understand the anxiety that comes from not knowing if you will be a parent. I can help you navigate this uncertainty.
Other areas I work in include depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, grief and loss. All parts of the human condition. I have a great deal of experience working in relationship issues informed by Dr Sue Johnson’s EFT and can help individuals try to understand what is happening in their relationships. Whether it’s heterosexual, homosexual or otherwise, all are welcome here!
I am not a purest in my theoretical orientation. I am informed by Emotion Focused therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative therapy, Solution Focused and other approaches. It depends on what I am presented with as to how I work. I call this an integrated approach that takes into account the unique person sitting with me.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you on this journey called life!
