Beginning the search for a therapist can feel overwhelming. It’s often a time when even simple decisions can feel uncertain, and choosing the right therapist is not easy. I encourage you to take your time as you explore this website and consider whether I might be someone you could come to trust. Even when things feel urgent, slowing down can help you find the right fit.

I have been trained in a range of approaches, including trauma-focused therapy, attachment-based work, mindfulness, and CBT. I draw on these tools when helpful, but research consistently shows that the relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of meaningful change. My focus is on creating a space where you feel heard, understood, challenged and supported.

In my experience, many of us carry some form of trauma. At times, it can help to have a neutral, caring person alongside you as you make sense of those experiences and the feelings that come with them. Whether you are facing inner conflict, challenges in relationships, or the impact of past events, I am here to listen and to work with you in a thoughtful and compassionate way.
