Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a space to slow down, understand what's happening, and discover new possibilities. My Somatic and Mindfulness-Based approach goes beyond talking alone, helping you develop awareness of your thoughts, emotions and body’s responses to support meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs. Together we'll develop practical strategies to help you feel better now while exploring deeper patterns that support lasting change and a more fulfilling life.
I’ve worked in human services since 2002, and as a psychotherapist since 2012. I have also been training as a therapist since 1995. I support people with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and other challenges. This experience supports a flexible approach, integrating structured psychotherapy with somatic and experiential methods tailored to you.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if it's your first time. My aim is to help you feel comfortable, heard and supported from the beginning. If you're wondering whether we're the right fit, I'd be happy to answer your questions and help you decide.

I support people with anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties and other life challenges. Drawing on extensive psychotherapy experience, I work in a trauma-informed way that integrates somatic and mindfulness-based mind and body awareness. This helps you understand underlying patterns, regulate your emotions, and build resilience and lasting change.

Mindfulness and somatic (body-based) therapy helps you develop awareness of your inner experience, including thoughts, emotions and body responses. This allows long-held patterns and beliefs to change safely over time. As these experiences are processed and integrated, people often experience greater ease, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection and possibility.
