You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Anxiety or low mood might be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self, and past experiences may still be shaping how you respond to stress or conflicts. You may want relief from the constant overthinking, emotional intensity, or exhaustion, and at the same time, want to better understand why these patterns keep showing up. Many of the clients I work with want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their emotions. Some are looking to improve as individuals or as a couple.

I am a Registered Psychologist (Qualifying) offering virtual therapy. I support individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and emotional regulation, using DBT-informed, CBT, solution-focused, narrative, and emotion-focused approaches. I also offer couples therapy focused on communication and connection.

Therapy works best when trust is present. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you feel understood and supported. If you’re ready to explore change at a pace that feels right, I welcome the opportunity to work together.
