You may not have words for what's not working in your life. It could be depression. You might call it anxiety. Maybe it's just the low of hum of sadness and unease, of 'something feeling off'. All you might know right now is that you want to feel yourself change, and not just think abstractly about changing. This could look like working on treating yourself with more kindness, changing patterns of behaviour, and learning to face those heavy, knotted up, and complicated emotions you'd rather not face. Whatever it might be, it starts with slowing down enough to see what's going on.

It's easy to convince yourself that perfectionism is what's keeping you successful, and that letting go of the pressure means losing something deeper than you realize. The power of this pressure can make everything feel like a test of whether you're enough. It can affect your work, your relationships, even your sense of self. Over time, it can leave you feeling isolated. Consider our sessions together as your exhale. A place to slow down and just be. I believe you already have what it takes to create a life that feels good to you. Think of our sessions as a space to clear the noise so you can hear yourself think.

Life can feel hard sometimes & the world right now can certainly make it feel harder. Reaching out for support for yourself is an act of self compassion. I'm glad you're here. Welcome.
My approach interweaves neurobiology, body based (somatic) interventions and Expressive Arts Therapy, as well as ‘talk therapy’. I use a resilience and trauma informed lens. No creative/ artistic experience necessary, only curiosity.
I work creatively and compassionately with people in many stages of life and periods of change- including early adulthood, parenting (and preparing to parent), career, health/illness, separation, loss & grief.
