How I work

My approach is client-centred and relational. Honouring the dignity of my clients, I infuse my work with humour, humility, and genuine curiosity.  I work with you to build understanding of your patterns and the issues at hand as we journey together through the therapeutic process. Feeling safe and supported in your therapy is important – I am committed to creating this with you so that you can experience the vulnerability necessary for change.
