My clients come to me for a wide range of symptoms, but what they have in common is deep-seated feelings and thoughts of emptiness, loneliness, being unworthy or less-than, having to be perfect or ensure everyone else's comfort, being ignored, or being unloved and unlovable. They feel dead or numb inside, or experience big emotions such as fear and anger that seem out of proportion to what's going on. They want to feel loved, connected with others, optimistic and peaceful inside. They want to be able to feel their emotions without being overwhelmed by them. and maintain authentic and mutually fulfilling relationships.

I help people heal early attachment wounds, which has a profound effect on how they think, feel and behave in the present. I offer several trauma treatments alongside talk therapy and my aim is for you to feel content, grounded and connected to others. With couples, I use EFT to help create authentic connection.

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is picking up the phone. My job is to put you at ease, creating a space where you feel seen, heard and valued no matter what. I do this work because I love the connection with people, and I know the power of therapy because it transformed my life and I couldn't have imagined before feeling the way I do now.

I mostly see anxiety, PTSD and dissociative disorders (including DID!), but also depression, disordered eating and a range of other issues. My primary lens is attachment trauma, but I take a holistic lens that also incorporates generational trauma, discrimination and societal expectations. I use a mix of talk therapy, visualization, somatic approaches and EMDR. For couples I am guided by EFT.
