In the years I've been practising as a psychotherapist, I've learned the importance of developing a deep understanding of my clients and their struggles. I have eventually come to understand that this means I should strictly limit the number of clients I support. Rather than seek out as many clients as possible, I focus on a few clients in a deep and meaningful way. I am able to recall important details to make impactful connections across sessions because my focus is on a relatively small group of clients. Difficult times are inevitable. We all experience them and can sometimes use extra support.

I help individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, emotional burnout, trauma, personal boundaries, addiction, personal and professional identity crises, and more. For couples, I provide support with conflicts, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, emotional disconnection, parenting challenges, extended family dynamics, co-dependence, and sex-life issues. I am here to help you navigate those difficult moments and build resilience.

I see people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions, adjustment to change in their lives, relationship or family conflict, or the residual pain left from difficult childhoods or painful life events. My way of working as a therapist is to get to know you: your hopes, your talents, your problems and your unique way of thinking and expressing yourself. We then proceed with treatment based on who you are and what you need. The aim is to allow coping with your weaknesses to help you uncover your strengths, and your way forward.

Every relationship tells a story — of longing, closeness, distance, of trying and trying again. Sometimes that story becomes tangled — between others or within ourselves.
At the heart of these stories is a longing for connection: to feel seen, safe, understood — and to find comfort, even in solitude. Yet we often get caught in cycles of moving toward and pulling away, leaving us feeling stuck or alone.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.

Upsetting news in the moment can lead to troubled days, and letting those troubles fester can create one heck of a miserable existence that impacts every facet of your life. What we don't learn from or resolve, inevitably circles back to remind us that change needs to happen. Believe me, we have all been there!

How do I change it? Can I change it? Is it worth making all the effort for the change that you think you need or want?
