I see our work together as a relationship — one that can offer a corrective, steadying experience in itself, not just a space to talk about other relationships.

My approach is collaborative, and it honours your autonomy and agency. Therapy isn’t neutral, and I hold professional power in this dynamic. You are always the expert on your own life, and I welcome you to question, push back, or disagree with anything I say or do. If something I offer feels off, I want to know — it strengthens our work rather than disrupting it.

My areas of expertise:

  • Trauma & shame

    Complex and developmental trauma, and the shame that so often travels with it.

  • Mood, grief & transitions

    Anxiety, depression, grief, and periods of change.

  • Identity & neurodivergence

    Identity, sexuality, and neurodivergence.

  • Body & relationships

    Chronic illness and disability; the relationship with food and eating; perfectionism; and every kind of relationship — romantic, friendship, family, and the one with yourself.
