Welcome! I am glad you are here. I recognize that taking the first step is the hardest part. By being here, you are already well on your way to your healing journey, and I am honoured to be a part of it. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma, it takes strength to ask for help and commit to change. Therapy can enable you to understand and build awareness of deeper issues through inner child work and reparenting yourself to heal attachment wounds and become your true and authentic self.

As a qualifying psychotherapist, I aim to help you process your emotions and move towards authenticity. I focus on working with attachment issues and use modalities like Gestalt Theory, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotion-Focused Theory, Mindfulness Practices, Somatic Experiencing, and CBT.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is foundational to change. My approach is tailored to meet individual emotional and cultural needs. Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can be vulnerable, learn new things, and build understanding. Feel free to book a free consultation if you think we may be a good fit.
