Are anxiety, OCD, or past trauma making daily life feel overwhelming? Maybe intrusive thoughts are keeping you stuck, social situations feel unbearable, or memories from the past won’t let go. You might feel frustrated, exhausted, or like nothing has worked so far. But change is possible. My clients want to feel in control, break free from negative cycles, and move forward with confidence. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, panic, or overwhelming stress, I provide a structured yet compassionate approach to help you regain balance. Therapy isn’t just about coping—it’s about transforming how you experience life.
As a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Practitioner, I specialize in treating anxiety, OCD, and trauma. Using evidence-based techniques, I help clients break free from unhelpful thought patterns, process past experiences, and develop lasting strategies for change. My approach is tailored, practical, and grounded in the latest research.
You don’t have to do this alone. It’s okay to feel hesitant, but taking the first step can be powerful. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can be heard without judgment. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change. If you're ready to regain control and feel more at peace, let’s take that step forward—you deserve it.
