I support people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, high-sensitivity, grief, eco-grief, self-esteem, intimacy and relationship issues. I also work with people who are grappling with existential questions around death, purpose, meaning and identity.
As a relationship therapist, I support couples who are navigating difficulties with intimacy, trust, conflict and communication. I am passionate about supporting people in non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory and people in queer relationships.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, collaborative, compassionate and creative.
I support individuals and couples to explore their cognitive, emotional, somatic and relational patterns and how these might be reweaved to allow for greater ease, creativity, joy and freedom.
We live within an economic system that fosters the conditions of stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and loneliness. So, when I sit with clients my starting point is never: What is wrong with you?
Instead, my starting point is: No wonder you are suffering. You are not alone.
I'm here to support you to ground, integrate and reconnect.
