I believe that coming to therapy is about making a home in ourselves: a home where we feel at ease, where all the different parts of us are okay and we don't feel that something is wrong with who we are. When life gets hard we can feel isolated and cutoff - from the people around us, and also from ourselves. When we most need to feel compassion towards ourselves it can be hardest to find. My work is to help you find that compassion for yourself and to support you in strengthening your capacity to meet whatever life brings with courage and confidence.

Coming to therapy is a courageous and vulnerable step to take. It is also an opportunity to set aside an hour a week just for you, dedicated to your growth and wellbeing. I invite you to bring whatever feels hard or happy, painful or pleasurable. I invite you to come make a home for yourself.
I work with individuals, couples and children. As a Somatic psychotherapist I bring a body-oriented approach to my work. I also bring 20 years of experience as a student of Buddhism and Diamond Heart, and 18 years facilitating emotional support groups. Please take a look at my website for more information.
