Do you feel like your mind never gets a break? I help adults struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, trauma and intrusive thoughts, as well as couples feeling stuck in painful patterns of conflict and disconnection. Whether you're overwhelmed by worry, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or relationship conflict, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck and help you create greater calm, emotional safety, secure connection, and lasting change.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and evidence-based. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from attachment theory, CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR, inner child and parts work, and nervous system regulation to help you break free from anxiety, overcome OCD, heal from trauma, and build healthier, more secure relationships.
You don't have to let fear and uncertainty keep you in survival mode. Healing is possible. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space to understand your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and build a life and relationships that feel calmer, more connected, and fulfilling. I'd be honoured to support you.
