Clinical Intern
Virtual Appointments
We all face challenging times in life and deserve the right support. Beginning therapy and not knowing what is to come may feel overwhelming.
I use evidence based psychotherapies through an emotion focussed lens on your path to improved mental health and functioning. Goals will be explored as we tend to your mental and emotional needs, by fostering a strong connection with the self, others, and your environment.
It is possible to experience the ups and downs in life and still feel content and joy. Through an empathetic and compassionate approach, foster a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, on your journey to living your best life.
