About me
We all go through times when life feels challenging, and it’s not always easy to know how to move forward. Maybe you feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, or difficult emotions are getting in the way of living the life you want. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s on your mind and make sense of the challenges that have brought you to therapy. I work with a wide range of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and more.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy because everyone is different. I take the time to understand you and your unique situation, tailoring my approach to suit your needs in a way that feels most helpful to you.
I know finding the right therapist can be daunting. That's why I offer a free 15 to 20 minute chat where you can ask questions and most importantly, see if we click. Feeling at ease and supported in therapy is essential and this initial chat allows us to establish that foundation.

Further information
If you have never had therapy before and are unsure of what to expect, let's try one session to see how it feels for you. This initial meeting will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and to get a sense of what therapy is like. It's important that you feel comfortable and supported, and this session will help you decide if therapy feels like the right fit for you.
