I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to break. Many have experienced difficult childhoods, unhealthy or abusive relationships, or have spent years putting everyone else's needs before their own. They may struggle with attachment, boundaries, identity, trauma, addiction or neurodivergence, often feeling as though something is "wrong" with them. Together, we make sense of these patterns with compassion, helping you understand why they developed and supporting you to build healthier relationships, greater self-awareness and a life that feels more authentically yours.
I offer integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults experiencing attachment difficulties, trauma, identity concerns, addiction, neurodivergence and relationship challenges. Together we'll explore the patterns that once helped you survive and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
If you're exhausted by repeating the same patterns, questioning your worth or feeling like no one has ever truly understood you, you're not alone. Therapy offers a space to explore your experiences without judgement and at your own pace. When you're ready, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
