About me:
With over two decades of experience since completing my Masters in Clinical Psychology, I’ve worked in diverse mental health settings, including hospitals, private practice, and forensic environments.
How I will help you:
I have a particular interest in fostering emotionally connected and fulfilling relationships by exploring our attachment patterns that hinder intimacy, often rooted in childhood. Through various therapeutic approaches like cognitive, experiential, and emotion-focused techniques, I assist individuals in resolving these barriers. Additionally, I’ll guide you in disarming your ‘inner critic’—the voice that undermines your potential—by creating a warm, safe, supportive environment and at times using empathic confrontation to address inconsistencies between behaviors, thoughts, and emotions.
My three favourite things:
1. Singing and performing
2.Strength training
3.Hiking and exploring nature
