At times repeating patterns, persistent thoughts and difficult emotions impact optimal living. I provide a warm collaborative space for couples and individuals to safely explore challenges and past experiences. We will explore your inner and outer experiences in ways that bring desired change.

I have 23 years of experience as a Counsellor and 16 years as a Couples Therapist. I have a strong foundation in psychodynamic processes and attachment theory in practice.

Counselling Services

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides a proven map of ways to change patterns, grow connections and cultivate aliveness. I am dedicated to seeing clients repair and heal, build strong relational bonds, and gain direction.

Working as a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, I assist couples to move from protected and stuck places to new patterns of responsiveness and closeness. This model will give you ways to hear, read cues, confide in and experience your partner with new depth and understanding. These powerful strategies become the tools to keep your relationship growing. The upsides are security, confidence, and resilience in key relationships and life endeavours.
