You don't have to manage anxiety, depression, trauma or PTSD alone. Symptoms like trouble sleeping, unshakeable sadness, emotional numbness or intense emotional reactions that feel uncontrollable, flashbacks, they all get in the way of really living. We can reduce these symptoms together. Whether you need a safe space to process, or you're looking for an action plan to reclaim control, we'll create that healing environment. Show up to the extent that you can and I'll meet you there.
I utilise a trauma-informed approach that recruits your mind and your body into treating the symptoms, and then the cause. That includes psychotherapy, EMDR, and theories such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, all rooted in a Rogerian person-centered approach.
Trauma therapy transforms lives, by giving you agency over your decisions. You'll no longer be controlled by past versions of you, no longer be stuck in the past. At the foundation of my practice I aim to help you reconnect with the parts you've lost, and connect with the parts you are yet to meet.

I follow the industry-standard medical model. We will first diagnose and identify primary symptoms affecting your ability to function with ease. Once we work to stabilise them, we'll spend time gathering your history so our focus on internal and/or interpersonal work is done with appropriate context. When we focus on the past, it's always to bring your experience back to the present.
