“Sometimes what we’re struggling with isn’t as simple as the problem in front of us. I’m interested in understanding what may be going on beneath it, and in working with people who want to look more closely at themselves, their relationships, and what they’re experiencing.”

About me

My interest in psychology has grown from wanting to understand how people experience their lives and the ways their experiences can shape how they see themselves and the world around them. I find it interesting how two people can go through something similar and be affected by it in completely different ways, and how much our relationships can shape us too. As a therapist, I want to bring that curiosity into the room. I don't expect you to arrive with the right words for what you're going through. Sometimes we know that something feels painful or difficult without knowing exactly what has changed. That can be a starting point too. I’m drawn to working with people who want to look a little more closely at their experiences and at the parts of themselves they may have had to push aside, or simply never had the space to explore. I want therapy to be something you can genuinely engage with. What I hope to bring into that work is presence, curiosity, care, and a genuine interest in your life and in understanding what makes your experience yours.

Approach

I believe our experiences and relationships shape the way we understand ourselves and move through the world. In therapy, I want to understand those connections with you, while also making sure that what has happened to you does not become the entirety of who you are. I see the therapeutic relationship as an important part of that process. I want our sessions to be a space for curiosity, reflection, and sometimes seeing yourself or your experiences from a perspective you may not have considered before. Not simply finding ways to manage what is difficult, but understanding it more deeply.

Services

I’m open to working with a range of concerns, with particular interest in self-esteem and self-criticism, emotional difficulties and regulation, identity and sense of self, shame, and relationship difficulties and patterns. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children, including children with ADHD and autism. Through this work, I had the opportunity to work closely with parents and primary caregivers and became interested in supporting them in their own experiences, particularly parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children. You do not need to have a clear label for what you are experiencing before reaching out. We can begin with what is bringing you to therapy and work from there.
