Welcome to my Psychology Clinic. As a compassionate Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals achieve fulfilling lives through evidence-based techniques like CBT, Compassion Mind therapy, Mindfulness Therapy.
I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.
My warm non judgmental way of connecting with clients , and also own experience with overcoming mood issues helps me truly understand what you are going through and make you feel at ease in the therapy process. The aim of therapy is to understand yourself better, to heal and teach you coping strategies such as staying present in the moment or being less negative in the way you view yourself for example.
I offer a free introductory phone consultation.

As a compassionate, warm and person centered therapist I can also draw from a variety of treatment approaches. This helps in providing therapy which works best with your individual needs. We are all different thus the more approaches a clinician can draw from the better for matching them to your own preferences.
I practice both mindfulness and yoga regularly to keep myself balanced, which is something I often also use within my therapy when it fits the clients needs.
