I am a Clinical Psychologist grounded in compassionate, inclusive care. My work draws from psychodynamic training while remaining tailored to each individual’s needs. Therapy is a collaborative process, shaped by your story and your pace. Always thoughtful. Always human.
Therapy can be seen as a work in process. A collection of human experiences slowly and carefully weaved together. Often challenging, sometimes light-hearted, always guided by you.

Like the ancient art of Kintsugi, I believe that healing is not about erasing cracks but embracing them - filling the broken pieces with resilience, self-compassion and strength. Life's challenges can leave us feeling shattered, but with the self-reflection, self-awareness and the right support, those fractures can become part of a more beautiful, empowered version of ourselves.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals navigate a vast array of mental health issues and life transitions, guiding them towards growth and wholeness. Together we can turn pain into wisdom and struggles into gold.
