Description
Welcome. We all have challenges at times in life, and sometimes we need a professional to help us to work through them. Congratulations on taking this first step by doing research to find a therapist that fits for you. I use a compassion-focused and trauma-informed approach, as well as various therapeutic interventions and my experience of 30+ years as a therapist, to help you to identify and address issues that are causing distress - so you can reclaim yourself and your life. I have extensive experience working with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
