About me
I am a Gestalt psychotherapist and supervisor with 14 years of clinical experience. I work from an embodied and relational perspective, but more simply put: I am interested in what actually happens between us, moment by moment.
There are many reasons you might be reading this. Perhaps you are looking for a shift in your life, or perhaps you’ve found that your automatic patterns are repeating in ways that no longer serve you. In our work together, we won't just talk about your life, we will engage with it as it emerges in the room.
My Approach is to stay with the "Charged" Stuff.
I don’t believe in "tidying things away." Much of my work sits where life feels unstable, uncomfortable, or hard to name. Current themes that seem to be showing up are:
- Shame and Power: Working through the complex relational fields that often lead to avoidance or "enactment."
- Diversity, Gender, Sexuality, Desire, and Erotic Energy. Navigating these themes within adult maturity, especially when they feel confusing or "too much" to stay present with.
- Embodied Awareness: Moving past the path of least resistance to develop greater contact sensitivity and a grounded sense of self.
My style is at its core relational and I aim to meet the other with welcome and warmth. I provide a creative, playful, well-held environment with clear ethical boundaries, offering a space wide enough for your real, un-tidied life to show up, without the need to perform or look away.
