My work is Humanistic, Person Centred and Emotion Focused, and I use the integrative approaches of my training as entry points for us to language, feel, and honour, all that we carry deeply within us.

By integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, and Relational Psychodynamic frameworks, we work to safely regulate your nervous system.
I specialize in working with Complex PTSD and attachment trauma, particularly for those who feel "stuck" despite years of self-work or traditional therapy. This often shows up as persistent anxiety, emotional shutdown, or a harsh inner critic that makes joy and connection feel out of reach. For many, these struggles aren't just symptoms; they are the deep patterns of how your nervous system learned to survive early relational trauma.

My approach integrates trauma and psychodynamic therapy, which explore how life experiences shape us, alongside the practical tools of CBT, EFT, and ACT.
At some point, almost everyone experiences the desire for personal growth, and this is especially true during times of adversity, significant life transitions, or emotional struggles. While we generally navigate life and stress well, it’s often during challenging moments that our deeper emotional responses and coping mechanisms reveal unresolved wounds, cognitive conflicts, or ingrained patterns of behaviour that may no longer serve us. These experiences can act as a catalyst for self-discovery and transformation, offering an opportunity to confront and overcome what holds us back.

Something brought you here—maybe a feeling, a question, or a sense that things could be different. Whatever it is, I’m glad you’re exploring this next step.
I provide a warm, attuned space where you can bring whatever you’re going through, whether it’s; anxiety, depression, addictions/compulsions, relationship issues, sexuality, identity or that you're simply feeling stuck in life.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
