Welcome 

Everyone has times of difficulty.  Some problems which life throws us are particularly tough.

You may have been trying to figure things out on your

own; or perhaps confided in people you are close to; both

of which can be helpful. But there are points when it's valuable to speak with someone who is objective and trained in these matters.

​

​

​

For many, considering professional help may feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. However, mental health is increasingly understood to be an intrinsic component of healthcare; and central to our physical health. Most of us can benefit from therapy at some point in our lives. 

​

​

​

The therapeutic relationship provides an opportunity to share issues of concern or confusion in a supportive, non-judgmental space; and be curious and reflective together.  It is unlike relationships with family or friends which are complicated by others’ needs or agendas; the focus is solely on understanding and helping you.  My priority in my practice is to provide this quality of relationship which helps in and of itself: and builds the trust necessary to identify and address your wished-for change.
