Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or weighed down by depression after a difficult life event or relationship struggle? Perhaps you’re stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand — reacting strongly, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You don’t have to keep navigating this alone.

I work with a wide range of clients, however, most clients reach out to me when they are looking to work around relationships, low mood or anxiety, and difficulties in adjusting to change. Overall, my aim is to help my clients gain insight into their struggles and find different ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling about life and their circumstances.

On the outside, you may look like you’re coping,balancing work, family, and relationships but inside there’s a quiet sense that something isn’t right. Maybe you feel anxious, low in mood, or just stuck.

Many of my clients describe feeling unheard, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns of people-pleasing that leave little space.

Many people come to therapy with me carrying something familiar — anxiety, self-doubt, a sense of pressure, or an ongoing unease — even if they’re not sure why it keeps showing up or why it doesn’t seem to shift. Often, people can recognise what’s happening for them, yet feel frustrated that it continues despite their best efforts. In our work together, how you relate to yourself often comes into focus first, alongside patterns such as overthinking, people-pleasing, or holding yourself to high standards, and questions about identity, belonging, and expectations around how life is supposed to look, and why it no longer fits.

Many women and gender-diverse people come to therapy carrying the weight of codependent patterns—prioritising others’ needs and emotions over their own, struggling to set boundaries, and feeling responsible for how others feel. These deeply ingrained patterns, shaped by social conditioning and life experiences, can leave us feeling stuck, unseen, and drained.
As a dedicated integrative therapist, I’m passionate about supporting women to break free from these cycles, rebuild their confidence, and create healthier, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll create space to unlearn harmful habits, reconnect with your authentic self.

You are neurodivergent or thinking you are and often find yourself people-pleasing, struggling with intrusive thoughts and persistent negative thinking. You may feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from your own needs after years of adapting to others’ expectations. You are seeking understanding, relief from distress, and practical tools to build boundaries, trust yourself, and develop a more compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions.

Many people carry deep emotions like shame or fear, or feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. By exploring the unconscious and reflecting on past and present relationships, we can uncover insights to help with life’s challenges. I have experience with LGBTQIA+ clients and those from multicultural backgrounds, dealing with issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity. Counselling can offer a safe yet challenging space to explore and gain clarity, whether you have specific concerns or are unsure of the cause.

I work with children, young people and adults who are struggling with their mental health, helping them to make sense of their emotions, relationships, or life experiences. Often they may be dealing with anxiety, low mood, family or friends conflicts, or the impact of trauma.
People usually need a safe and non judgmental space where they can express freely through talking, creative activities or simply being listened to.
Their goals vary depending on age and circumstances, but often include feeling calmer, improving confidence, managing emotions, developing resilience and communication and having hope for the future.

This is a supportive space where you can show up as you are, without pressure to mask or have the right words. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burn out, often navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, including late diagnosis or self-identification. I support clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, chronic illness, and challenges in relationships, family life or the workplace.

Hispanic and Latino Counsellors
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognise a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
