Description
I have been practising therapy for 20 years and I draw from narrative, family systems, interpersonal, trauma informed and strength-based approaches. I work collaboratively with you to help you heal past wounds/traumas, develop present day coping skills in all areas of your life, and help you build the life and person you desire to be in the future. I deal with a variety of client issues: relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, men and women's mental health, attachment, and self esteem. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds as individuals, couples and families.
