About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist working with children (3+), adolescents, adults, and families. I support clients experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioural challenges, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I offer a warm, supportive therapeutic space where clients can make sense of their experiences, and reconnect with their capacity for resilience, growth, and more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approach

I use an integrative therapeutic approach informed by psychodynamic therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you, focusing on insight, emotional regulation, and coping skills. With children, I incorporate play therapy and creative play-based techniques to support emotional expression and understanding.
