About

Illume Psychotherapy 

As the founder of Illume Psychotherapy I believe excellent therapy is about meeting you where you are, understanding where you want to be and being able to offer a truly integrative approach to treatment.

An Integrative Approach 

I offer an integrative therapeutic approach to treatment drawing upon different therapies, methods and skills in order to best support you in effecting the insight, healing and change you seek. My extensive systemic and relational training means I am qualified to work with individuals, couples and families as well as bring family members and significant others into session.
