Undaunted by “dark nights of the soul,” I support clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I believe the first step is feeling truly understood, and that my first job as a therapist is to provide an experience of warmth, care, and security, where clients can express themselves without fear of judgment or alienation. I support clients in developing self-compassion and learning new ways to meet old challenges. Watching someone become more fully themselves, without apology or hesitation, is a gift.
