I offer psychological therapy that is relational, spacious, and deeply respectful of your inner world. This work is not about fixing or pushing change. It is about slowing down enough to listen, to understand what has shaped you, and to meet yourself with kindness. Many of the people who find their way here are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, or work in helping and caregiving roles. Others simply know they want something gentler than traditional therapy — a space where they don’t have to explain themselves, allowing the masks they’ve had to wear to finally rest.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with the impacts of childhood experiences - things like sexual abuse, emotional neglect, or simply not getting the kind of support they needed early on. These early dynamics can leave a lasting mark, even if life looks fine from the outside. But therapy doesn’t need to start with a clear story. Some people come in just knowing something isn’t quite right. My approach tends to suit people who’ve found short-term strategies helpful but limited, or who’ve had trouble feeling connected in past therapies. We go at your pace, and take the time needed to get to the heart of things.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you — in your relationships, coping strategies, or how your past continues to influence your present. Many people I've supported feel emotionally exhausted by high-conflict or unsafe relationships, overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood, or disconnected from themselves. I support individuals who have experienced relational trauma, coercive control, emotional abuse, or violence, as well as those navigating compulsive behaviours such as substance use or binge eating. Therapy may involve making sense of experiences, healing wounds and developing new goals and coping strategies.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
