Sometimes we need to work with the body ( somatic, gestalt), other times we will need to be more rational (neurolinguistics, psychoanalysis) .
If you are already checking this, it means that a part of you is ready to be transformed, I´m here to assist you in that process. My most important objective is to provide you with a safe and professional space to go to the roots of your symptoms, not only the surface. In that way, changes being made are most likely to remain.

Many women reach a point where anxiety, stress, responsibilities and life transitions start to feel overwhelming. You might be holding everything together on the outside while feeling anxious, exhausted or unsure how to move forward. If you’re looking for a compassionate space to explore your thoughts and emotions, you’re in the right place. I work with women experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges and major life transitions. Together we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface and begin to make sense of patterns that may be leaving you feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

I feel especially drawn to working with deep thinkers, sensitive souls, and the so-called “black sheep”—those who often feel like outsiders, yet carry profound insight and depth. I aim to create a therapeutic space that’s collaborative, curious, and grounded in presence, where all parts of you are welcome and nothing needs to be performed. I focus on areas such as chronic stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, and personal and spiritual growth. I have a particular interest in men’s wellbeing and creating safe, supportive spaces for men to explore their emotional health, as well as women, teens, and couples.

I work with people navigating grief, loss and major life transitions, including pregnancy, baby, infant and child loss. Many clients come to me feeling shattered, isolated, overwhelmed or unsure how to carry a loss that has changed them. I offer warm, trauma-informed counselling that gives space for grief to be witnessed without judgement. Together, we gently make sense of what has happened, support the parts of you carrying pain, guilt, fear or longing, and find ways to live alongside grief with more steadiness, self-compassion and support.
