In-Person and Telehealth
I’m a Clinical Psychologist who supports adults wanting to better understand themselves and their behaviours; build a stronger sense of self and identity; and create more meaningful, authentic relationships.
I have a particular interest in childhood development and how early relational experiences shape the way we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond in adulthood. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in ways that no longer serve them, whether that looks like anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relational difficulties, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. I offer a space in which we work to understand these experiences more deeply, looking beyond what is happening on the surface to explore the underlying, often unconscious processes that influence how you show up in the present. I approach this space with the understanding that much of what we struggle with often makes sense when we look at what has been learned over time, especially within childhood environments and past relationships.
I work in a relational way, integrating attachment, trauma and somatic approaches. This includes paying attention to how experiences are held in the body and nervous system, and how this shapes emotional responses and protective patterns. The therapy I offer is generally longer-term, and entails creating space for change that supports a more intentional and authentic way of living. I acknowledge that this work can be challenging and at times confronting, which is why I place a strong emphasis on safety and pacing, supporting you to engage honestly in the process. I believe meaningful change is possible, for anyone, when there is willingness, openness, and commitment to the work.
