Healing begins with feeling safe and seen.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and my goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and valued. I work through a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming lens, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and experiences.
I support people with a wide range of challenges, including trauma (C-PTSD and PTSD), grief and loss, addiction, bullying, relationship struggles, family wounds, narcissistic abuse, and major life decisions. I also help clients build self-esteem, confidence, and self-compassion, and support their personal growth.

Anxiety and Stress Therapist
I work with people who feel weighed down by self‑esteem struggles, low confidence, self‑doubt, anxiety, people‑pleasing, and the pressure of always being the one who holds everything together.
Many of my clients come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start — often carrying roles and responsibilities that have felt heavy for a long time.
I also support people navigating relationship challenges, family patterns and the emotional impact of growing up in a complex or demanding family. Together, we gently explore boundaries, roles, and the stories that have shaped how you show up in your life.

I’m an EMDR-trained psychotherapist working with trauma, addiction, and the patterns that quietly organise a life. Before psychotherapy, I worked in the international art world — a way of seeing I still carry: attention to what is held in the body, what repeats, what resists language. I don’t see people as problems to fix, but as nervous systems shaped by experience. Therapy becomes a steady, boundaried space where what has been carried alone can be met, felt, and slowly reworked — until something more liveable, and more your own, begins to take shape.

From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Your house is in order, your career is moving, or you are managing the equally demanding role of a stay-at-home mom. You handle the schedules and the endless mental load. But inside, you feel depleted, anxious, or caught in an exhausting loop of overwhelm, overthinking, and internal pressure. Whether navigating the profound identity shift of matrescence, processing a difficult birth, or balancing parenting with burnout, please hear this: you are not failing—you are simply running on empty in a very difficult season of life.
