I mostly commonly work with client's who are experiencing stress & anxiety, challenges in relationships, trauma, and parenting (including perinatal mental health).

As a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist, I have helped people with many challenges including anxiety, depression, relational and family conflict, parenting challenges and the ongoing impacts of trauma, with a special interest in transgenerational, racial, and trauma of displacement.
We seek out therapy for many reasons, but the process of finding a therapist who is a good fit for us can itself feel overwhelming. I first and foremost offer a safe space where you can feel heard, seen and understood. My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of therapy. Our sessions draw upon experiences from the past and bring to light how these get replayed, with or without our knowing, in our present ways of thinking, feeling and relating to others. Together we explore these repetitive patterns that can keep us feeling stuck.

As a therapist, I draw from my experiences as a parent, former teacher, and recovering people pleaser and perfectionist.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of others, struggling to express your needs, or lost in the chaos of daily life? If you find yourself constantly putting others first, feeling unfulfilled, misunderstood, or battling anxiety about setting boundaries, know that you’re not alone. Many of us carry the weight of expectations - both from ourselves and those around us - and it can leave us feeling drained and disconnected from our true selves. Whether you're looking for a new therapist or trying out therapy for the first time, finding someone who has walked a similar path can be helpful.
