Do different. Get different. Feeling stuck in the same cycles? You're not alone. Let’s work together to manage stress, build resilience, and gain clarity. My trauma-informed approach blends psychodynamic insight, mindfulness, and person-centred care. Changing your environment doesn’t always change what’s happening inside. Old patterns are hard to break—but real growth comes when you commit to doing things differently. That’s when life starts to feel lighter, happier, and more fulfilling.

I approach therapy as both an art and a science. Guided by solid empirical evidence and ongoing learning, I tailor a therapeutic process that fosters careful reflection, but also imagination, experimentation, and creative problem solving. My background in theatre and the creative community gives me a deep respect for process, vulnerability, and the magic that happens when we truly show up for ourselves and others. While the work can be deep, I also believe in joy, growth, and possibility. We work with whatever helps you access what’s been stuck or unsaid. I’m trauma-informed and hold a certification as an ADHD-CSP.
