I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with people across the lifespan through a wide range of difficulties. Central to my work is an existential philosophy — The belief that therapy is not only about alleviating distress, but also about discovering meaning, embracing uncertainty, and moving toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of being.
I hold a particular interest in disability work, maternal mental health, and grief/loss. I offer individual, family and group psychotherapy.

"
My therapeutic orientation is grounded in psychodynamic principles, with a focus on how early experiences shape current patterns of relating and coping. At the same time, I draw on a flexible and integrative range of approaches to meet each person's unique needs.
