I work with many people who are trying to move beyond the impacts of trauma, who have struggled with intrusive memories, nightmares, and physical symptoms and the inability to feel safe or who feel that they don't have worth.
I offer a warm & connected conversational approach that explores what's been going on, what core needs have been going unmet, and where the unexpected chances for getting them addressed might be found. It is flexible, responsive, and trauma informed, and seeks to equip you with skills, tools, and techniques for overcoming & mastering distressing symptoms.

As a holistic, relational, gestalt therapist, my approach is grounded in the present moment, non-pathologising, inclusive and trauma-informed.
As a queer and trans therapist, my lived experience grounds me in this work. Therapy offers the opportunity for transformation of isolated individuals into relational beings that are skilled for better connection. Through verbal and creative approaches in sessions, I use a holistic blend of theory, neuroscience, experiential and intuitive techniques.

I also work with clients who have clinical diagnoses such as PTSD, BPD, Complex PTSD and Dissociative Disorders.
People often come to therapy feeling stuck and overwhelmed, repeating patterns in their lives that they do not fully understand, or during periods of difficulty, change or uncertainty. Psychotherapy can offer a safe and caring space to reflect and explore emotions, build a freer and more authentic sense of self, and improve relationships.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I help individuals reconnect with their nervous system, process difficult experiences, and develop tools to feel more grounded and resilient
My approach integrates somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EFT tapping, and mindfulness-based practices. These methods allow us to work not only with thoughts but also with the body, where many emotional patterns are stored.
