Hello, and thank you for being here. Finding the right psychologist can be hard. Many people arrive after trying therapy before, sometimes more than once, feeling disappointed or unsure it would help. You may be giving this one last go, thank you for not giving up and for being open to trusting again. Therapy with me doesn’t need a plan. We can move at your pace, focus on what matters to you, or work toward goals when it feels right. I support people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, PTSD, panic disorder, OCD, relationship and family concerns, workplace stress, and life transitions.
My therapeutic style is integrative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills, Mindfulness-based strategies, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Method of Couples Therapy.
I believe that feeling genuinely understood and accepted is the most important part of therapy. You deserve a space where you can speak openly, without judgement, and where your experiences are met with care and curiosity. I will walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what you’re going through and supporting you in a way that feels right for you.
