Many of my clients come to therapy when grief, illness, trauma, anxiety, or a major life change has made everything feel too heavy to carry alone. You may be exhausted from holding it together, anxious in your body, or feeling like people around you do not really understand what you are living through. I offer therapy that is warm, honest, trauma-informed, and practical. As an Irish-born therapist with a background in hospital social work, I understand illness, loss, caregiving, medical trauma, fear, and the ways the body can hold what you have survived.
I specialize in grief, chronic illness, medical trauma, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My work is somatic, relational, and IFS-informed, with practical tools from DBT and mindfulness. Together, we slow things down, understand what is happening, care for the parts of you that are overwhelmed, and build ways to cope that feel realistic.
Reaching out can feel hard, especially when you are overwhelmed or used to carrying things on your own. You do not need to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. If something here feels familiar, you are welcome to reach out. We can start slowly, honestly, and at a pace that feels safe enough for you.
