About me
I believe that every person has an innate capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. I have been on my own healing journey for 25 years and my work is rooted in a deep respect for the human experience in all its complexity, blending talking therapy with somatic, creative, and embodied practices to support meaningful change. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, one in which you are supported, heard, and gently encouraged to step into new possibilities.
With over 20 years of training and experience, I offer a therapeutic space that is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, yet also gently challenging when it serves your growth. My integrative approach means I draw on a range of therapeutic traditions and tailor each session to meet your individual needs.
