My ideal client is someone grappling with mental health issues who is seeking to understand themselves better and develop healthier coping strategies. They might feel stuck in negative patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure of how to navigate relationships or their career. Their goal is to gain clarity, reduce distress, and cultivate resilience. They seek therapy because they want to take control of their mental health, achieve personal growth, and improve their overall well-being.

Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then psychotherapy can offer you the change you need.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Accredited Practitioner. I particularly enjoy creating a warm and welcoming space to support adults who are navigating trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma, & dissociative disorders. Trauma can be understood as any experience that left behind some emotional wounds - whether it is something that happened or something that was absent or lacking, big or small. This can manifest in various ways beyond PTSD, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, chronic pain, and more. I also have a special interest in ADHD, neurodivergence-related trauma, & neurodiversity-affirming practice.
