You care. You've been trying, reading, pushing through on willpower, telling yourself to just cope. To everyone else, you look capable, switched on, the one people rely on.
Inside, it's different: working twice as hard just to hold the shape of "fine," with no one seeing what it costs you. That's not a personal failing. The strategies that got you this far made sense, they just weren't built to carry you any further.
This can look like anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or a big life transition that's knocked things off balance.
If that's you, you're exactly who I want to work with.

By addressing any lingering emotions tied to past memories with EMDR therapy, we can help you break free from the shackles of the past and embrace the present with renewed vigor.
I work with adults living with the impact of childhood trauma, childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault and complex trauma. You may tell yourself you should be over it, but your body still reacts. You freeze, shut down, lash out or disappear inside yourself. You stay tense, overthink everything, struggle with trust, relationships, sex or intimacy, or sometimes feel nothing at all. You may have spent years pushing it down, avoiding it and getting on with life, yet it still shows up in ways you can’t always explain. You don’t have to hold it all together. We can start with what is happening now.

Using Somatic EMDR, talk therapies, and mindfulness, we work so you can notice and regulate your nervous system, understand patterns, and cultivate self-compassion and self-worth by changing your inner narrative.
I work with sensitive, empathetic adults who are high-functioning, perfectionistic, and self-critical, often shaped by harsh or unpredictable parenting. If you appear composed but carry shame, self-criticism, or unprocessed emotions, therapy can be a space to gently explore old patterns at a pace that feels manageable and never forced. Using trauma-informed talk, somatic techniques, meditation, and interoception-building skills, we process triggers and stuck emotions. This work cultivates long-term self-compassion and embodied awareness, helping you build a grounded, lasting sense of self-worth.

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.
