I provide a safe, supportive and empowering space where you can explore areas of worry, disconnection or uncertainty in your life.
I believe therapy is a combination of gaining practical resources, and a process of uncovering to reveal who we truly are, and have been all along. Given the opportunity to explore your feelings in a safe space, a sense of movement arises, leading to the most beautiful and embodied self-discovery. Compassion for ourselves is a key on this journey home.

I am a therapist specialising in assisting clients who have physical and psychological symptoms relating to traumas that they have experienced in their lives. These may be relatively discrete traumas such as a car accident, or they may be complex traumas sustained over time including from early childhood. When we experience trauma both our body and our mind remember what has happened. We try to make sense of what has happened and develop "apps" to deal with and respond to similar situations. These apps can however become problematic, particularly if they are accidentally opening all the time. We call this being "Triggered".

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
