I’m a fully accredited Psychotherapist and Trauma Recovery Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adults and couples through life’s challenges and transitions.
In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and gently release old patterns. I help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and attachment wounds so they can find clarity, strength, and self-trust—and feel grounded, connected, and at peace within themselves and their relationships.

As an integrative therapist, I blend various therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs. My approach is rooted in a deep respect for the mind-body connection, recognizing that emotional, mental, and physical health are intertwined. My goal is to support clients in navigating life’s challenges, whether it's managing stress, healing from past trauma, improving relationships, or developing healthier coping strategies. I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and work collaboratively with my clients to help them better understand their thoughts, behaviours, and emotions.

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

I believe the answers to our own problems are within us. You are the expert. The narrator of your story. Your experience is unique. Only you know what it is to be you. How it feels. My role is simply one of companion. It is hoped that as you journey along at your own pace you will begin to unravel and understand who you are and why you feel the way you do. This insight has the potential to make sense of your difficulties. To find the light in the dark. To see new roads to travel, better ways to live, and new eyes to see the world. To eventually have the courage to take the road meant for you. To become who you truly are.
