Great to meet you!

I have over 20 years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with social connection, emotional expression, and navigating complex relational dynamics, as well as with caregivers of children who are neurodivergent.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing on Schema Therapy, mindfulness, and creative arts therapies. I tailor my style to each person, and we build your goals together. I place special emphasis on the therapeutic relationship itself as a source of healing, particularly for those who have felt unseen or misunderstood.

What you can expect from me

The first session is simply about getting to know each other. There's no pressure to share everything at once.
