How psychotherapy can help.

Many people come to therapy because they've spent years holding everything together. On the outside, they seem to be coping. Inside, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected. You may have experienced trauma, emotionally painful relationships, grief, chronic illness, or years of putting everyone else first. You might find yourself overthinking every decision, feeling stuck in depression, struggling to trust others, or noticing that your body stays tense even when you're safe. You don't have to keep living in survival mode. Together we'll work to understand what is happening so life feels more manageable.

I believe symptoms make sense when we understand the experiences behind them. My work is trauma informed and grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution focused approaches.

I work with people who experience anxiety, depression or sadness, family or relationship issues, trauma, parenting struggles and more. Therapy can provide space to process loss, uncertainty, changes in identity, and the emotional demands of life . Together we can build practical coping strategies and create lasting change.

Work through distressing experiences and the ways the past may still be affecting you today. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to difficult memories.

Support for anxiety, overthinking, low mood, stress and feeling overwhelmed, with practical strategies tailored to you.

A space to process the emotional impact of chronic illness, pain, fatigue and changes in your health, identity and daily life.
