I’m naturally curious, reflective and relational in the way I work. I tend to bring a calm presence to sessions and aim to create a space that feels warm, collaborative and grounded, where you do not have to have everything figured out before you arrive. Although I work with difficult experiences such as trauma, identity struggles and loss, I do not believe therapy has to feel clinical or heavy all the time. There is space for humour, lightness and ordinary human moments too. Above all, I hope people experience me as someone who is genuinely interested in understanding them, not just their symptoms. Clients often describe feeling validated, understood and able to make sense of experiences that previously felt confusing or difficult to put into words.

My sessions are guided by your goals, and sometimes part of therapy is figuring out what those goals are in the first place. They may change over time, and that is completely okay. Therapy is rarely linear, so rather than working towards something fixed, we will agree on a broad direction and revisit it as we go. We will talk openly about your preferences, what has or hasn’t worked for you before, and the ways you feel most supported. Together, we will build an understanding of what is happening and use that to shape our work. My aim is not to tell you who you are or what you should do, but to help you make sense of your experiences and move towards a way of living that feels more aligned and grounded. I work collaboratively, which means therapy is not something done to you. You bring your lived experience, values and understanding of yourself; I bring psychological knowledge, therapeutic skills and an outside perspective. Through ongoing reflection and conversation, we work together to help move you towards where you would like to be. We will also periodically review how therapy is feeling, what feels helpful, and whether anything needs adjusting so the work continues to feel meaningful and relevant.
