I offer in-person appointments in Naas for adults & adolescents (teens 13-18). There are times in life when the pain feels too much to carry alone. You might be living with the effects of past trauma or abuse, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or struggling with grief that won’t let go. Perhaps you’re exhausted—burnt out, anxious, or overwhelmed—and wondering how you even got here. You may be facing big questions like: Who am I? Why does this hurt so much? Will it always feel this way? Whether the pain is loud or quietly lingering in the background, it can shape how you experience yourself and the world right now.
I’m a preaccred therapist offering a safes pace so you don’t have to carry it all alone. I work with adults & adolescents facing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, relationship issues, abuse, trauma, attachment wounds, and more. My approach is integrative, grounded in a deep understanding of early experiences, complex trauma & emotional regulation.
Contact me for in-person sessions in Naas. My therapeutic space is built to foster a sense of calm and groundedness, and is adapted to teens with neurodivergent needs.

I look at the human trusting me with their vulnerability rather than a label or clinical diagnosis. I first work on establishing trust; safety & regulation for the first few sessions, whilst gathering information about the person's world. We then work with whatever is coming in the therapeutic room, highlighting unhelpful patterns, coping mechanisms, etc. to replace them with more adaptive ones.
