Prior to the commencement of postgraduate studies, I spent a decade working in the I.T. sector (as a Technical Writer and Process Analyst). Many of the skills developed in that time transfer to a career in psychology. In particular the ability to distill complex information for a broad audience, recognizing areas of development to foster growth.

I specialize in both Forensic Psychology and Clinical Counseling. I’ve worked with individuals facing severe mental health challenges within a forensic/residential setting, as part of a multidisciplinary care team. I also bring the insight that comes from working in private practice.

Initially we'll spend some time getting to know each other and you can tell me your hopes and goals for therapy. Together we'll face your concerns and explore your strengths. I'll highlight patterns of behavior that may result in distress, and get curious about your past. Often this can reveal why we do the things we do, and be a catalyst for change.

While rooted in psychodynamic theory, my work draws on various client-centered practices to create a flexible, individualized path for each client.

One of my strengths as a therapist is my empathy—the ability to understand how you're feeling. I've found that clients respond to this with an increased confidence to open up. It creates a deeply supportive and safe place to be vulnerable. From there, we can explore what’s been hard to face alone, make sense of your experiences, and work toward meaningful change—at a pace you're comfortable with. You can expect me to be engaged, thoughtful, and attuned to the complexity of your experience.
