You might have the sense that something deeper in your life wants attention. Perhaps you’ve tried to push through, stay positive, or work things out on your own, but the same patterns keep returning. You may feel disconnected, unsure who you really are, or quietly questioning the life you’ve built. Sometimes there’s a longing for something more real or meaningful, even if you can’t quite name what that is yet. Many of the people I work with come with a feeling that what they’re facing isn’t superficial. They’re looking for a space where they can slow down, explore honestly, and begin to understand themselves more deeply.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic & somatic therapy, so we explore the deeper patterns shaping how you relate to yourself, others, and life. Alongside my current ANZAP psychotherapy training, I have an MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology. Both help me support you in questions of meaning, identity, trauma, and spiritual emergence.
Turning toward deeper questions can feel vulnerable, and it takes courage to seek support. I offer a thoughtful, steady space where you can explore what has shaped you and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been lost, hidden, or which never had the right space to develop. If something here resonates, I warmly encourage you to reach out.

I believe that what matters most in therapy is the relationship between us & how I can listen to you in ways you may not have experienced before. This kind of listening creates space for you to listen to yourself in a new way & over time, find & speak your own voice. I draw from various approaches including psychodynamic, compassionate trauma-informed inquiry, Internal Family Systems, dreamwork.
