I am truly passionate about meeting the needs of those I help support. In my therapeutic practice, I support individuals, couples, families and groups. We can meet online or in-person. As Co-Founder and Director of EcoSensory Therapy I also offer nature-based therapy, using the natural environment to facilitate positive change, healing and growth.

There are many reasons why you might wish to reach out to a psychologist for support. All reasons are valid and it’s a brave step to acknowledge and give yourself permission to receive support.

You may be reading this feeling lost and looking for direction, or finding yourself stuck and unable to pursue the direction of travel you desire in life. In order to move forward, I believe it’s important to have a safe place to make sense of your individual story and experience.
