You may feel like you've done everything you're supposed to do; read the books, learned the coping skills, understood your patterns, yet still find yourself caught in anxiety, trauma, addiction, or relationship difficulties. The question that interests me most isn't "What's wrong with you?" but "What happened, and how is it still shaping your life today?" Together, we'll make sense of those patterns, understand where they came from, and work toward resolving them at their roots so that meaningful, lasting change becomes possible.
I work with adults and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress. My approach integrates EMDR with evidence-based therapies to help clients process unresolved experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and create lasting psychological and relational change.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you've been carrying the same struggles for a long time. You don't have to figure it out alone. If you're ready to better understand yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honoured to walk that journey with you.

These are the treatment approaches I use, and your experience will be one of curiosity rather than judgement. I integrate EMDR, attachment-informed and psychodynamic therapy to understand how past experiences continue to shape the present, helping you process them at their roots rather than simply managing symptoms.
