I understand how difficult life can feel when stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles take hold.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when relationships are difficult, confidence is low, or old patterns keep repeating. You don't have to navigate this alone. I warmly invite you to reach out, and I'll always email back asap, but please do check your spam and other folders for my reply. My approach is warm, collaborative, curious, and attachment-focused. I aim to help you understand your own unique world, become more attuned to your internal dialogue, and move towards more secure and meaningful connections in your life. Therapy can become a place of safety, hope, understanding, and real change.

Do you ever feel worried, stuck, lost, hopeless, lonely, lethargic, anxious, unable to sleep – less able to cope with life?
You may consider therapy for various reasons, be that relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, stress, or you may feel stuck and unable to harness your full potential. In all these instances therapy can help to unpack your difficulties and gain a fresh perspective and clarity on a situation. I can provide CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy).

Anxiety can be debilitating for the body!
In our sessions, we will talk through past experiences, trauma, and relationship patterns — but therapy with me is also embodied. On certain days we may include in our talking therapy, gentle breathwork, grounding tools, or simple techniques to release tension in your neck, back or chest.
