About me

I work best with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, and burnout, often at a point in their lives where they feel stuck, or sense that something needs to change. Together, we start by understanding the ways of being that once served them: how they developed, how they worked, and the effect they're having now. From there, we experiment with new ways of being that align more closely with who they are today, and how they want to move forward. I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy and provide a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all genders, identities, and sexual orientations.

As an accredited CBT therapist I am trained to work with people experiencing anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. The relationship we form is the most important part of the work we do together, I provide a warm and compassionate space in which we can take things at your pace and find helpful solutions.

I'm passionate about supporting people through this kind of change, and I'd love to hear from you if you think we could be a good fit. Please get in touch to book a free 15-minute consultation, a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we can explore your current situation together and see whether working with me feels right for you.
