Therapy with me is an invitation to slow down and attend to your lived experience — especially at moments when life feels uncertain, fractured, or no longer makes sense. Many people come to therapy not because they are “unwell,” but because something essential has shifted: a loss, a rupture, a transition, or an internal disquiet that can no longer be ignored.

My work is grounded in existential and psychodynamic psychotherapy and informed by trauma-focused training. This means I understand distress not only as a set of symptoms, but as a meaningful response to what you have lived through. Trauma — whether sudden or cumulative, relational or developmental — shapes how we experience safety, time, closeness, agency, and our own sense of being in the world. Therapy must therefore move at a pace that honours your nervous system, your boundaries, and your need for choice and agency.

In our work together, you are not asked to relive or explain your experiences before you are ready. A trauma-informed approach means we pay careful attention to safety, consent, and regulation, and to how your body, emotions, and thoughts respond in the present moment. We work collaboratively, with curiosity and respect, allowing understanding and change to emerge rather than be forced.

From an existential perspective, therapy is a space to explore fundamental human questions: Who am I now? How have my relationships, losses, and histories shaped me? What does freedom mean when choice feels constrained? How do I live with uncertainty, finitude, and responsibility without becoming overwhelmed? These questions often arise alongside experiences of trauma, grief, illness, migration, parenthood, separation, and identity change.

I offer a non-judgmental, thoughtful, and compassionate space where all parts of your experience are welcome — including those that feel contradictory, confusing, or difficult to name. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, long-term illness, neurodivergence (including ADHD), and the emotional complexities of fertility, bereavement, divorce, parenting, and intimate relationships.

I believe personal growth is not linear, but a gradual untangling of who we are, who we have been asked to become, and who we may yet be. Therapy is not about fixing or erasing pain, but about developing a more authentic and liveable relationship with your experience — one that allows for meaning, connection, and movement over time.

Whatever you are carrying, you do not have to carry it alone. I offer deep listening, presence, and steadiness as we navigate endings, transitions, and the possibilities that can emerge when your experience is held with care and respect.
