Mission:

To provide a safe space for children, teenagers and adults who are struggling with mental health challenges. My goal is to take them from a place of struggle and turmoil, to a place of healing and peace of mind.


Approaches used in therapy:

I use a variety of approaches and tailor each session depending on the clients needs and experiences. Below are my main approaches to therapy and what they mean.


  • Person centered therapy allows me to get to know my clients and accept each person as they are, without judgement.


  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps the clients understand the link between their thoughts, feelings and actions. 


  • Mindfulness therapy teaches clients techniques they can use to get away from an overwhelmed brain that keeps us stuck in the past or future, and helps us focus on the present moments to achieve a calm and peaceful mind.


  • Brainspotting therapy helps clients process trauma safely without talking about it, as well as processing areas of their lives where they feel stuck. It allows clients to release emotions that may be stuck in their body, that often come up when triggered.


  • Nature Informed therapy helps me use nature as a co-therapist, to help clients find relaxation, meaning and healing.


  • Art therapy techniques are great for children and adults that struggle with expressing their feelings using words, as it gives them a creative outlet that is safe for expressing their emotions.


  • Sand tray therapy uses sand and miniatures to help clients express their feelings and process trauma safely.
