Many of the people I work with come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. Others may be living with other complex mental health challenges such as psychosis. They arrive with suffering that resists explanation, looking for a space where it can be put into words and perhaps gain new meaning.

Engaging in therapy can be challenging and it’s important to find the right person for you. Here is some information about how I work. My aim is to help people understand how, when and why their symptoms developed. I look not only at the individual, but also at the the family and social systems they have been a part of, and the experiences that have shaped them. I help people build skills to manage current challenges and also to heal deeper childhood wounds and traumas. I identify and work with the unique strengths and inner wisdom of each person.

My ideal client feels stuck in patterns like anxiety, people-pleasing, or emotional numbness. They may not fully understand why, but they long for change and deeper connection, with themselves and others. They’re seeking more than just coping tools; they want real healing, to feel safe in their body, and to reconnect with their true self. They’re drawn to a compassionate, trauma-informed, and holistic approach that supports lasting transformation.

So, why do this now? Whether therapy is something you have tried before, something you never thought you would "need", or something you hone back towards at different junctions of your life, therapy is a challenging and rewarding process. I aim to treat our interactions with sensitivity, respect, skill and even humor, to support you to think differently, behave differently and feel differently, in order to feel more yourself. It is often our habitual patterns that lead us to become frustrated, despairing, or stuck enough to seek support, not necessarily the crises we may face.
