I specialise in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
My approach is conversational, collaborative, and grounded in real life—not overly clinical or one-size-fits-all. I provide trauma informed therapy that draws from evidence-based therapies like CBT, EMDR, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, while also honoring the bigger picture of your life—your relationships, identity, and lived experiences.

It can be difficult trying to cope with distressing times on your own. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. As an experienced psychotherapist, my role is to give you caring, non-judgmental support so that you can make sense of your emotions and gain a clearer picture of how your past plays a role in your current relationships. You will begin by telling me about yourself and the reasons why you've come to therapy and then we can explore together new ways of reflecting and interacting that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

Are you an adult who feels deeply, notices everything, and easily gets overwhelmed? Have people ever said "You're too sensitive" to you? Only 20% of the population are HSP. I help highly sensitive people (HSPs) navigate life's unique hurdles, manage sensory overload, and process deep emotions. Together, we will work toward transforming your daily overwhelm into a calm, balanced, and deeply enriched life. Being an HSP may not feel like a gift but it truly is. We notice so much more than others do. People who are HSP usually go into helping professions to help people, animals or the earth. We are here for a reason.

In-person appointments available! You WORRY. You can't stop thinking. You are in your head too much. Am I good enough? What do they think of me? What does this headache mean? What if this or that happens? You may describe yourself as an overthinker, a people-pleaser, a perfectionist, or just very self-critical. You are SURE this overthinking is blocking you from things you want in your life - strong relationships, inner confidence, peace of mind - but you don't know how to stop it!

Realizing you want or need a change can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to begin. I've learned that sometimes the smallest shift in perspective can spark your journey to becoming your best self. I understand how scary taking that first step can be, which is why I'm passionate about creating a supportive space where you feel comfortable diving into self-reflection. There's no judgment here, just genuine support and understanding.

You might find yourself constantly second guessing your reactions, your needs, or your decisions. Maybe you feel drained from always being the one who keeps the peace, gives more than you receive, or carries the emotional weight in relationships. Many of the people I work with are trying to understand patterns that keep repeating, especially after emotionally difficult relationships, burnout, addiction, or experiences that have left them questioning their confidence or sense of self.
