About me

My practice
Life might look full, and on paper it might even look good, but something feels missing. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or caught in patterns that keep repeating. Often, the women I work with are capable, self-aware and used to holding everything together. But they're asking, in one way or another, "Who am I?" and "What am I doing with this life?"
They're not necessarily looking for answers as much as space to explore what is actually true for them, and to reconnect with the parts of themselves that have gone quiet beneath years of adapting, coping and surviving.
I offer Integrative Psychotherapy, Walk and Talk Therapy and home visits. Together, we'll get curious about what's happening underneath the surface; what your body is holding, what your patterns have been trying to protect you from, and what the creature of you actually needs. Through conversation, movement and connection with nature, we'll create space to engage more fully with a life that feels like your own.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. You drive, and I hold the map. My approach is responsive, flexible and shaped around what feels most helpful for you. Therapy with me isn't about fixing you or fitting you into a box. It's about creating space to be honest, curious and human.
Whether what you're carrying feels clear or difficult to put into words, you're welcome here. If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to book a free introductory call. It's a relaxed, no-pressure opportunity for us to get to know each other, answer any questions you might have, and see whether we're the right fit for each other.
