As a Clinical Social Worker, I work with people who feel disconnected from their sense of self-worth, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. This can show up in relationship struggles, self-destructive patterns, people-pleasing, emotional dysregulation or numbness. Many clients experience low mood, anxiety, shame, or overwhelm. I support clients to build self-soothing skills, make sense of their experiences, and reconnect with their authentic Self. I work with compassion, honesty, and humour, creating a space that feels safe and grounded. Together, we move toward healing, greater self-trust, and meaningful, lasting change.

As a holistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I support adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, navigating major life transitions and living with the legacies of trauma. I help people reconnect with their inner strengths and resources, and build a steadier, more grounded relationship with themselves and others. I also support adults through identity shifts and life transitions, including relationship changes, career shifts, becoming a parent, midlife and other periods of change. This also includes working with adults exploring a late-identified or late-diagnosed neurodivergent identity, including ADHD, Autism and AuDHD.

Even though you might not always feel like it, you are the expert in your own life. Life's complexities can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and adrift, lacking purpose and direction. This can lead to adopting unhealthy coping mechanisms to avoid thoughts and feelings altogether. My approach involves treating you with empathy, acceptance, and without judgment in a practical and supportive manner. Together, we will collaborate to rediscover your strengths, nurture resilience, and unlock your potential for growth, facilitating the changes you desire. I firmly believe in the possibility of positive change.
