My therapy involves developing a strong interpersonal relationship with each client.I am a skilled practitioner with extensive experience in treating addictions like alcohol and elicit or prescription drugs. The treatment extends beyond the person struggling with addiction to the wider family left vulnerable to the turmoil, trauma and domestic violence that often results from addictions. I also focus on working with people and couples who have experienced childhood/ recent trauma or distressing events which impacts their everyday life and relationships negatively. I have educational, vocational, and personal experience in the areas that I target. I use evidence-based treatment for the therapy of a vast range of mental health presentations. As a sincere and attentive therapist, I spend time researching innovative solutions to mental health care and I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and a piercing insight into the emotional and physiological dimensions of wellness.
