Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed and hopeless about how to go about getting help? My aim as a therapist is to help you relate better to yourself, and create understanding and new behaviors that lead to the change you want to see. I have expertise in supporting individuals who want to heal from trauma (developmental, PTSD), navigate their anxiety (general anxiety, OCD, social anxiety) and move through depression. Understanding how past events have shaped us, and identifying the obstacles that get in the way of the changes we want to see in our lives can help us immensely.

Are you struggling to navigate challenges in your workplace, family, or relationships? Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're repeating the same patterns but can't quite figure out why? Life’s challenges don’t just appear out of nowhere—they’re often deeply tied to our earliest relationships and experiences. In our work together, we’ll take a deep dive into how your early relationships, and past experiences have shaped your current sense of self. We'll explore how these influences show up in your daily life—impacting your confidence, emotional regulation, and even the way you connect (or disconnect) from others.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression and adaptation to life challenges and losses. My focus is on creating a warm, non-judgemental and safe environment where you can unpack your painful experiences and examine emotions, thoughts and behaviours that might contribute to your suffering and isolation. My goal in psychotherapy is to help you to find balance and wholeness by accepting and incorporating all authentic parts of yourself, including shadows. A painful experience is an opportunity to wake up from familiar negative patterns and change them once and for all.

I often support people faced with depression, burnout, anxiety, and complex relationship trauma. You can expect us to collaboratively slow down while reflecting on your experiences to better understand what motivates you. We can focus on understanding what emotions, thoughts or actions are generally more "automatically" acceptable or unacceptable, and how this affects your lifestyle and relationships.

You might notice my price is a little bit higher than some other therapists - the reason is that I started my own approach and I’ve had quickly increasing demand doing it. It’s built on the seeds of almost every psychological approach available. It is called Somatic Humanism.
In Somatic Humanism we go to the roots of what is going on. We use cognitive processing techniques to get at the thought structures that are keeping you stuck. We then go to emotional processing work. I recommend different processing techniques and journey beside you as you try things you’ve never tried before.

Are you longing for more than just getting through the day? Many people turn to therapy when they feel stuck between craving stability and wanting a life that feels meaningful and alive. You may work hard to hold everything together while carrying stress, shame, anger, or loneliness, noticing emotional ups and downs, relationship patterns, or an inner voice that questions your worth. Often there’s a quiet pressure to stay strong while holding hidden burdens, giving too much, or feeling torn between expectations and a more authentic self, and a sense that there’s more to you than old wounds or survival habits allow.
