I’m really glad you’re here! My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to meet you where you are, with curiosity, care, and respect for the experiences that have shaped you.
With a decade of counselling experience, I work from a psychodynamic and attachment based lens. Together, we explore patterns beneath the surface and how past experiences, especially in relationships, may still be influencing how you think, feel, and relate today. Therapy with me is a space to slow things down, notice what is coming up, and begin to make sense of it in a deeper way.
Our work moves at a pace that feels manageable and supportive. Alongside insight, we focus on your emotional experience in the moment, helping create space for feelings that may have been pushed aside or are difficult to access on your own.
I support individuals with concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and self esteem. I have a particular focus on trauma and family of origin experiences, and I am an EMDR Certified Therapist through the EMDR International Association. I also draw from Internal Family Systems, which helps you understand and build a more compassionate relationship with the different parts of yourself.
EMDR is a structured, evidence based approach that supports the brain in processing and integrating difficult or overwhelming experiences. You do not need to go into every detail. We work in a way that feels contained and supported, allowing distressing experiences to become less intense over time. I also offer EMDR intensives for more focused, in depth work.
I often integrate EMDR and Internal Family Systems in a way that is tailored to you, whether that involves processing specific memories or getting to know the parts of you that hold certain emotions and patterns.
When working with couples, I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy. We focus on the emotional patterns that shape your connection, including how disconnection happens and what each of you is needing underneath. By slowing things down, we create space for deeper understanding and new ways of reaching for each other.
I do not take a directive approach focused on fixing. Instead, I see therapy as something we do together. I will be alongside you in difficult moments, helping you make sense of your experience and supporting you in responding to yourself and others with more clarity and compassion.
A strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of this work. My hope is that you feel safe, understood, and supported as we move toward healing and growth together.
