My Approach

I take an emotional health approach that supports the mental, physical, existential, creative, and spiritual dimensions of being human. In a world that often feels chaotic and fast-moving, staying present and finding balance in life can be challenging.

Emotions are at the heart of what it means to be human. They shape our relationships, guide our decisions, inspire our creativity, inform our values, and weave through every culture across time. While emotion isn't exclusive to humans, what sets us apart is the remarkable depth, self-awareness, and symbolic expression with which we feel and communicate.

Humans are not simply rational or emotional, we are both, and often beautifully irrational in emotional ways. That complex interplay can feel overwhelming at times, but it also gives rise to our greatest strengths: our capacity for empathy, our drive to create, our search for meaning, and our ever-evolving sense of what it means to live a good life.

 

As an integrative therapist, I use Person-Centred and CBT-informed approaches. If you're feeling lost or stuck, we'll explore what's brought you to therapy and agree on three key areas to focus on. Sessions are shaped by what you bring, and CBT tools help us explore how conscious, and subconscious, thoughts affect emotions, and behaviour. We can also move organically to newer priorities as they arise.
