As a therapist, I’m interested in what makes people who they are: the experiences that shaped them, the ways they learnt to survive, and the parts of themselves they have had to hide along the way.

No two people come to therapy for the same reasons, so I don’t work from a script. Together we look at the patterns that keep repeating in your life, what might be holding you in place, and what it would take to live differently. Sometimes that means making sense of the past. Sometimes it means learning to tolerate feelings you have spent years avoiding. Usually it means both.

I work with people dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, grief, shame and addiction, among other things. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you get in touch. Often the first thing we do is work that out together.
