Healthier Relationships
with Yourself,
with Others
and with Life’s Experiences.
Psychotherapy is not just for crises.
It’s a space for healing, growth, and coming into deeper relationship with yourself.
People often assume therapy is only for those with a diagnosed condition—but the truth is, many of us carry wounds that don't have names. These wounds shape how we show up in the world, often in ways that helped us survive at one point, but now leave us stuck, exhausted, or disconnected.
You might notice it in how hard you push yourself. Or how often you silence your needs. The way you shut down, or lash out. The way you're always bracing for something to go wrong.
These are not flaws. They’re patterns formed in response to pain—patterns that can shift, when they’re met with care and curiosity.
The word trauma comes from the Greek for wound. It’s not about what happened to you, but about what happened in you. That’s the hopeful part: if the wound lives inside us, it can heal inside us too.
I work in a depth-oriented way—meaning I don’t just help you manage symptoms, but explore what lies beneath them. My focus isn’t quick fixes or techniques, but long-term integration and change. Together, we track the thread of what’s brought you here, and gently loosen the grip of the old story.
This is deep work. And it can change everything.

Health
Health concerns have an impact not only on our physical wellbeing, but on our psychological wellbeing and can influence our ability to function. You may be experiencing an acute health issue that has impacted your wellbeing. You may be experiencing a chronic illness that has changed the ideas you had for your future.
Speaking to a trained professional can make an enormous difference in how you cope with your current situation and your quality of life.
Patterns
When we find ourselves repeating the same patterns we may begin to doubt our ability to effect change in our lives. Over time, the repeated experience of being unable to break free from these patterns can create or reinforce feelings of helplessness, leading to a downward spiral of resignation and despair. Without avenues for empowerment or support, we may struggle to envision a way out of our situation, further deepening our sense of helplessness. The environment created in therapy session allows for insights into the repeating patterns in our lives and in this way we are able to break free from inertia, regain a sense of our own agency and aliveness.


Loss
life transitions
-
grief
The common thread between life transitions and grief is the experience of loss. Life transitions often involve leaving behind familiar circumstances, roles, or relationships, which can evoke feelings of loss for what was once known or comfortable. Grief involves the emotional response to loss, whether it be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any significant change that alters one's sense of normalcy. Both life transitions and grief entail a process of adaptation and adjustment to a new reality, as individuals navigate the emotions, challenges, and changes that accompany loss. In essence, they both involve coming to terms with the end of something familiar and the beginning of something new, requiring individuals to reconcile their past experiences with their present circumstances.
Burnout
Burnout requires a supportive environment in order to explore underlying causes. Therapy empowers one to be clearer on boundaries and self-care, which fosters long-term resilience. Overall, psychotherapy equips one with tools and support to restore balance and promote well-being so that burnout does not happen.


DEPRESSION
-
ANXIETY
Depression often feels like navigating through a dense fog of despair, where even simple tasks seem daunting. Psychotherapy helps by providing a generative space to unravel tangled emotions, work through negative thought patterns, develop a different relationship to oneself and to gradually reclaim a sense of hope and agency in ones life.
Anxiety can feel like an endless cycle of worry and tension, where every decision is clouded by fear. Psychotherapy helps by offering tools to understand and manage anxious thoughts, fostering resilience and relaxation techniques to regain control. Through therapy, one can learn to confront fears, build confidence, and cultivate a sense of calm amidst uncertainty.
Begin The Journey Home
“Paradoxically, the more we try to change ourselves, the more we prevent change from occurring.
On the other hand, the more we allow ourselves to fully experience who we are, the greater the possibility of change.”
