About My Clients

Whether you are experiencing anxiety due to new transitions, stress, health issues, or simply want to understand yourself more, we'll work together to create clarity and balance in your life. I also provide life coaching around complex work situations, career transitions, and work/life balance.

My Background and Approach

I believe that therapy is a tool that anyone can benefit from and works best when you feel seen and heard. My approach is warm, compassionate and client-centered. I create a space where you can be who you are, without fear of judgement. I see my role as a supportive presence in your journey. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions and work at your pace. I use a combination of CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches to treatment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens in the context of a genuine, trusting relationship. My aim is for every session to feel like a place to be honest and for you to leave feeling supported, understood and more grounded than when you started. I have extensive experience in hospitals and healthcare and understand the impact physical health can have on mental health. I am a LGBTQ+ ally and have worked with Trans+ identifying clients seeking gender affirming surgery. If you want to learn more about I can help, please feel free to message me.
