About
35 years experience has taught me much about successful therapy. Being understood, whether as an individual or within a couple is critical; my job is to listen well while bringing you my knowledge about how people work and how change happens. You bring knowledge of your life and together we have a conversation about what might allow change to happen. Sometimes, old stories get in the way and revisiting them is necessary to remove obstacles to change. This can only happen when people feel safe. Creating that nurturing environment is also part of my job. While therapy can be difficult, it is also an exciting and rewarding process.
My approach to individual and couples work integrates such frameworks as Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness and CBT. I am also interested in understanding how our brains work and how that offers possibilities for change. I work within an anti-oppression framework understanding individuals and couples in the context of their power relationships.
I am experienced in working with individuals and couples on issues related to emotional regulation, trauma, loss, chronic illness, and communication to name but a few. Although my practice is highly varied, I have worked with people from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans and HIV communities, providing individual and couples counselling.
