There comes a time when we realise our past patterns and tools aren't helping us move forward in life. My goal is to provide you with the space and guidance to explore how your patterns of behaviour, past trauma, and experiences formed the person you are today. We will work together to explore past patterns, build healthy coping strategies, and strengthen resilience. Whether you’re looking to explore past experiences, build concrete tools to cope, or build healthy relationships with your loved ones, I provide an individualised, trauma-informed approach to therapy to adapt to your unique needs.

I am deeply committed to facilitating a safe, trusting relationship that can help you heal, grow, and become more fully yourself. I work with a wide range of individuals and couples, focusing on helping people create healthy and fulfilling lives in their internal and external worlds.

Life is inherently complex and challenging. Sometimes these challenges feel overwhelming and this is where psychology can help. In an environment of understanding and acceptance, psychologists can help you better identify those strengths that have served you well in the past, while at the same time assist you in learning new ways of solving problems and coping with life's difficulties.

I am a queer and trans-affirming therapist and my therapeutic approach is informed by anti-racist and health at every size frameworks.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. — Viktor Frankl. In my practice, I offer a supportive space where you can confront life’s fundamental questions—identity, freedom, responsibility, and the quest for meaning. These questions resonate deeply with our shared human experience, inviting us to explore not just who we are, but why we are. Our sessions will foster deep, reflective dialogue, helping you uncover your unique values, beliefs, and aspirations.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety and OCD, couples, and folks who have complex difficulties and may have received multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

Trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. Many people I work with feel flooded by emotions like guilt, shame, or fear — or sometimes struggle to feel anything at all, feeling detached from themselves and those around them. Traumatic memories don’t always stay in the past. Triggers can bring back emotions, images, and beliefs so vividly that it feels like the event is happening all over again, leaving you with a persistent sense of danger or distrust.

I work alongside clients who feel disconnected from others or themselves, but can't seem to push through the barriers of what it is that they are unsatisfied with; with people who want more out of their relationship with themselves, others, and life. My clients often talk about their emotions as being too big or having conflicting parts within. I focus on finding not only strategies, but understanding and insight into past experiences - enabling to not only manage your experiences but feel deep fulfillment as well. As you understand the early experiences that shaped you, we then have choices over who you want to be moving forward.

I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which allows me to delve deep into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional distress. However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work. Additionally, I draw on a range of other therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to meet the unique needs of each client.
