My communication style

Therapeutic work with myself might also include the use of wellness approaches and dream exploration to help a person move toward becoming who they want to be and live the life they envision. I hold the perspective that counseling should be informed by the latest research and that all approaches must be tailored for the individual.

My journey to mental healthcare

With a background in music and theatre, I bring an artistic perspective to therapy. My journey began with Jungian dream analysis, which inspired me to become a therapist. Since then, I've worked in community mental health, training in various models to support diverse needs.

My goals for you

I mainly use the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy model, as it is quite flexible for a variety of problems we encounter in life and has a good base of research evidence for its efficacy. I also consider myself to be humanistic in orientation, have training in Depth/Jungian psychoanalytic therapy, and am a drama therapist in training.

Our first session

The first session focuses on gathering information to understand your needs and how my therapy can best support you. I often ask many questions, and I'll offer some initial, short-term suggestions by the end of our time together.

I identify as...
