I am originally from California and Oregon, in America, but I have lived in Edinburgh since 2016.
I am driven by several goals.
I will empathise with your suffering; work with you to alleviate it; and support you to advance your self-awareness and autonomy.
I also hope to support your capacity to relate to others through compassion and understanding.
Finally, I hope to develop your knowledge of your own emotional experience.
I completed my training at Human Development Scotland (Post Graduate Certificate and Diploma).
I completed my placement at Safe Space, a charity that provides therapy and counselling for individuals who have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA).
I am a member of COSCA and I adhere to their professional framework and ethical standards.
I also hold a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Warwick.
My research in Philosophy has allowed me to develop a thoughtful and ethical practice. My work has also helped me to think more clearly about society, ethics and morality, the development of the self, and the nature of experience.
