About My Clients

I welcome to my practice individuals 18 years old and over, families and couples/throuples/partnerships/unions in any form. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. Social justice is foundational to my practice. Additionally, I am an Accredited Member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), fully credentialed to work with clients anywhere in the Republic of Ireland.

My Background and Approach

I will listen to your story and attune to the impact of important experiences as they relate to your therapeutic goals. Together, we will work to identify the struggles, beliefs, and wounds that might be holding you back. We will identify and build on the strengths that serve you well and have carried you this far. I use a client-centered treatment approach tailored to each individual or relationship. Clients report my ability to attune to their specific needs, challenges and goals helps them feel seen, heard and understood. I help clients ask themselves insight-generating questions while discovering new possibilities for living congruently and authentically.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a humanistic view of counseling and wellness. I believe everyone is equipped with the potential to heal and fully experience a life well-lived; however, this potential is sometimes stifled by our past hurts, present fears or a feeling of simply being stuck. While diagnostic language is sometimes helpful and necessary, my therapeutic approach views human suffering through a non-pathologizing lens. I see humanistic, client-centered treatment as a more powerful, humane and effective alternative to the medical model of mental health care. I welcome clients from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as well as LGBTQ+ clients and partnerships/families in any form.
