I’m a psychologist who helps people work through trauma, relationship struggles, risky behaviours, and major life transitions. Therapy with me is about creating a safe space to unpack what’s going on and start feeling like the version of yourself you want to be.
My work is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing on relational, psychodynamic based approaches, ACT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and EMDR.
I work with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often during periods of stress, transition, or change. They may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, or relationship difficulties, and are seeking therapy because existing ways of coping no longer feel effective. Many want to understand themselves more deeply, feel steadier emotionally, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and connection.

I work with couples, adults and young people who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, substance use, and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. Many of the people I support feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life they want to be living. Together, we explore the impact of past experiences, build practical coping strategies, and work towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change. Additionally, I work with couples who are experiencing struggles within their relationship and want to explore new ways to communicate more effectively.

I work from a trauma-informed, trauma-focused framework using evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, and attachment-based interventions.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or depression, and finding it hard to fully engage in life. Unprocessed experiences can stay stuck in the nervous system, keeping you on edge or disconnected. I offer a safe, empathetic space where you are truly heard. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, including EMDR, I help you process the past, reduce distress, and create lasting change—so you can regain control, resilience, and live more fully, not just cope.

I draw on CBT, ACT, and DBT to support change.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
