I’m here to support you through life’s challenges, whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or a major life change. My compassionate approach explores how past experiences—especially grief and trauma—impact your current relationships and self. With a background in grief and attachment, I understand how deeply these experiences shape us, and I’m committed to helping you heal and grow.
Using both mind and body approaches, I incorporate depth psychology to explore your unconscious mind, somatic therapy (like breathwork and meditation) to help you feel grounded, and attachment theory to help you feel truly seen and understood.
Therapy can be challenging but deeply rewarding. Together, we’ll gently bring old wounds to light, fostering healing. I believe that even in difficult moments, feeling genuinely heard & valued can be transformative—and I’m here to support you through each step.
