My work is integrative; I use evidence-based psychological therapies, including EMDR, ACT, Schema Therapy, Positive Psychology and mindfulness-based approaches, within a trauma-informed and neuro-informed framework tailored to each client.
I offer a thoughtful, confidential, and deeply supportive therapeutic space for individuals navigating stress, life transitions, emotional fatigue, and questions of meaning or identity. Many of my clients are capable, insightful people who appear to manage well externally while carrying significant inner pressure or uncertainty.

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR & ACT to help you manage stress, improve mental health & strengthen connections with those you care about.
Are you feeling worried, overwhelmed, or struggling in your relationship or daily life? Maybe you and your partner are finding it hard to connect, or perhaps you’re facing challenges on your own—feeling stressed, anxious, or like your usual energy has disappeared. When even small tasks or conversations feel like too much, it can be exhausting, and it’s easy to retreat from the world. I understand how difficult this can be, and I’m here to help. Whether you’re facing relationship issues, personal struggles, or family dynamics, I provide a non-judgmental space for individuals, couples, and families to work through their challenges.

My approach draws on Schema Therapy, attachment and trauma frameworks, and relational ways of working, integrated with EMDR as needed.
Therapy for trauma, relationships, and eating disorders. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating the same emotional patterns — in relationships, work, or the way we treat ourselves. You might understand why you do it, yet still feel unable to change. My work focuses on helping people slow down, make sense of what’s happening underneath, and begin to respond differently. Therapy becomes a place to feel understood, to build self-compassion, and to find new ways of relating that feel steadier and more connected.

I use EMDR to treat trauma, mostly seeing survivors of childhood, military, family and sexual trauma.
I initially look at emotional patterns in relationships, at family, substance use, sleep and productivity. Ultimately, I focus on managing the amygdala - the "fight / flight / freeze / fawn" centre, or "dinosaur" brain that alerts us to risk. Client psychoeducation & developing a trusting clinical rapport between us are also critical to successful therapy.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
