My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, grounded in the understanding that our early relationships and lived experiences influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world.

I support individuals navigating life transitions and concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting, pregnancy and perinatal experiences, trauma, grief, and loss. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely met as a whole person. My style is warm, compassionate, attuned and collaborative.

I am trained in trauma-informed and narrative approaches, EFT and Gottman couple therapy, family therapy including play and art therapy and attachment-focussed family therapy.
Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others, find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness and peace of mind. If you are recovering from trauma, if you are stuck or struggling, therapy can create a safe space to work through painful and difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. As a therapist and supervisor of other therapists, I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion and relational therapy.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples who are navigating stress and major life changes, relationship challenges, or trauma.
If you’re feeling nervous about starting therapy, that’s completely normal, and you’re not alone. Taking this first step takes courage, and it’s okay to have doubts. I want you to know that therapy isn’t about being "fixed" or judged. Instead, think of it as a safe space where you can be exactly who you are with all your struggles and strengths. You don’t need to have all the answers. My goal is to be a compassionate and curious guide as you explore what's on your mind. We'll move at your own pace, and there will never be any pressure to "get it right."

Many of us face recurring difficulties—whether in relationships or within ourselves—without fully understanding their origins.
Grounded in Insight Therapy, I help clients explore how past experiences influence their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By combining this approach with EMDR and other evidence-based techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to address unresolved trauma, improve relational dynamics, and break free from unhelpful patterns.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
