I'm passionate about helping people understand themselves more deeply and create lives that feel more meaningful. I work with people who are may appear to be holding it all together on the outside but underneath they're carrying the load of overthinking, self-doubt and trying to keep everything together. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, low mood, or are beginning to recognise that ADHD or autism may help explain why life has always felt more exhausting than it seems to for other people. I also work with couples, people going through life transitions (e.g. motherhood, career), or wanting to enhance their relationship with money.

Feel like a badass while you achieve insight, acceptance and freedom from what’s holding you back
“I am so looking forward to getting to know you as a unique individual, and working together to create the life you wish for. I believe that creating sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically. I have always cringed at traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so instead I am committed to treating you as a real person and working together to help you live your best life. I love it when people take a proactive approach to their mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in a meaningful way"
