I’m a clinical psychologist offering in-person and telehealth therapy for adults experiencing trauma and its after-effects, anxiety, stress, and difficulties in relationships or with self-worth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on safety, pacing, and understanding each person’s unique history.
I work in an integrative way, drawing on psychodynamic therapy alongside experiential approaches such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems. While these approaches differ, they share a common focus on understanding patterns that developed in response to life experiences — patterns that may have originally emerged as an adaptation but are now no longer helpful.
My approach to therapy includes making sense of what you’ve been through, processing traumatic memories where appropriate, developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and finding more effective ways of coping and relating. A brief introductory call is available if you’d like to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

I tend to work most with people with a history of complex trauma and attachment disruption who may have developed adaptations such as perfectionism, over functioning, people pleasing and care taking others in relationships. Therapy usually involves identifying patterns which may be causing difficulties now, processing trauma, and developing healthy coping strategies.

I have a background in psychodynamic psychotherapy which always informs my approach. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems and parts approaches to work with a person's internal world and to support them to better understand themselves and develop health ways of relating to the different parts of themselves that can struggle at times.
