Description

I work with adults of all backgrounds and ages, with experience with older adults and people from international backgrounds. I have training in Psychology, Social Work, Adult Education and intercultural communication.  I use therapy approaches such as ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

I provide a safe, accepting and compassionate environment for you to work through your challenges. I am a skilled listener and draw on a range of tools and therapeutic approaches, as well as the wisdom that comes with experience.  I am respectful of who and how you are.
