About me

My practice
I offer therapy that is relational, trauma-informed, and integrative, combining existential-humanistic, narrative, gestalt, and compassion-focused approaches with an attuned, intuitive sense of what each person needs. I also include creative, embodied, and somatic approaches, inviting ways to explore your inner world beyond words — through movement, imagery, or symbolic expression — when language alone isn’t enough.

In sessions, I bring a calm, attentive presence, grounded in compassion and authenticity. I value humour, ease, and safety, creating space where you can explore yourself openly, without judgment. My aim is to witness and support you fully, to help you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have gone unnoticed, and to walk alongside you as you navigate change.

Working together, we might:

Explore and reshape stories shaped by trauma, grief, or survival

Clarify values, identity, and life purpose

Strengthen agency, self-compassion, and resilience.
Engage creativity and body-based awareness as pathways to insight
