My clients are often high-functioning adults who have spent years managing, achieving, and holding it together — and have reached a point where that's no longer enough. They may be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or trauma, or struggling with difficulties that haven't fully resolved with shorter-term support. Many have delayed seeking help; some have tried therapy before without lasting change. I offer a collaborative, thoughtful approach tailored to each person, drawing on evidence-based methods within a warm and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
With experience in complex trauma, addiction, and forensic settings, I'm comfortable working with presentations that require depth and patience. Before retraining as a psychologist, I spent over ten years in the corporate sector, adding another lens to my understanding of the many different paths that bring people to therapy.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, and it's okay if you're not sure where to start. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to have it figured out before reaching out. I offer a straightforward approach — no jargon, no judgment, just a genuine conversation about what's going on and whether we might be a good fit.
