My approach
I bring a creative, relational approach to therapy, integrating practical exercises, psychodynamic insight and trauma-informed practices to help people process complex emotional experiences, build resilience and re-engage with life and relationships.
I am skilled in working with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence (including autism spectrum disorder (ASD)), identity formation and emotional regulation.
My approach is grounded, compassionate and tailored to meet you wherever you are in your journey. Having grown up on the margins, I understand what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard or on the outside looking in. That lived experience shapes the way I listen – with empathy for those who have had to navigate the world in ways that weren’t always met with understanding or compassion. This experience has enabled me to connect with people from all walks of life, especially those carrying stories that haven’t always found a safe place to land.
I provide a calm, confidential space where you can be fully seen and thoughtfully supported – whether you’re working through the past, facing present challenges or seeking a clearer way forward. I am especially aware of how shame can keep us silent or stuck, and I work mindfully to create an environment where these difficult feelings can be explored without fear of judgment.
