I work with women who are feeling disconnected from themselves and others, often struggling with people-pleasing, driven by perfectionism and are feeling burnt out by self-imposed patterns of overachieving. If this sounds like you, you're not alone and I can help!
My approach goes beyond surface-level solutions and instead encourages a deep-dive into looking at thoughts, feelings, and behaviours which once served a helpful purpose but may no longer feel aligned with your goals.
By using relational and trauma-informed frameworks like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we can grow your capacity for self-trust and self-compassion, which can then extend to your relationships with others.
I believe that therapy is much more than intellectualizing and problem-solving. It's about building a meaningful relationship that provides a safe space for you to explore and heal. I bring my full humanity to the therapeutic space and I welcome your full self into our sessions.
