I have extensive postgraduate training in child and adolescent psychology, with a particular focus on early childhood trauma and its lasting influence into adulthood. This approach is informed by psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and I am also certified in EMDR.
Our early experiences can shape how we respond to stress, understand ourselves, and connect with others. Exploring these connections helps us make sense of patterns that affect both our mental health and our relationships. I help clients develop this understanding with compassion, creating room for healing and new ways of responding.
Our first session centers on getting to know you, with curiosity about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. We’ll explore some general history and any previous experiences with therapy, including what felt helpful or difficult. There will also be time for you to ask questions about me and how I work. You can share at a pace that feels comfortable as we begin building a relationship.
