Understanding how your past experiences have shaped you can be an important part of therapy, but it’s not where the work stays. I’m interested in what’s happening for you now, and how we can begin to understand and work with that in a way that feels active, engaging, and meaningful. Therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy or stuck, it can be a space where something begins to shift and new ways of being can emerge.

​

Alongside my professional training, my own life experiences have played an important role in how I work. There have been times in my life that felt difficult, unsettled, and at points hard to make sense of. Those experiences led me toward this work, and continue to shape how I sit with others, not just from a theoretical perspective, but from a place of lived understanding that can’t be learned from training alone.

​

I’m also aware of how difficult it can be to reach out for support, particularly for men. This is something I have personal familiarity with, and it informs how I work, with an emphasis on creating a space that feels steady, grounded, and free from judgement.

​

While talking is an important part of therapy, I don’t believe it always has to be limited to conversation alone. At times, I work more creatively, exploring different ways of understanding experience that can feel more engaging, and sometimes even bring moments of lightness into the work.

​

I work with a broad range of concerns. My core areas of focus include anxiety and overwhelm, relationships, self-worth, feeling stuck, addiction, and trauma. I also have a specialist interest and experience in working with life transitions, loss of identity, questions of meaning and purpose, and self-destructive behaviours.

​

My work is informed by a Gestalt approach, which allows sessions to develop collaboratively around what feels most relevant to you, rather than following a fixed technique or formula. My work is also trauma-informed, with an awareness of the nervous system and parts-of-self exploration.
