My approach is flexible and tailored your needs and preferences. I offer practical strategies to help you cope better from the start, while reaching deeper to the root cause of your issues, in order to promote lasting change. I won�t judge you or tell you what to do. Instead, I will support you while you find your own answers.

I work with adolescents (16+) and adults with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, stress, relationship problems, burnout, trauma, gambling, hoarding, grief, depression, emotion regulation, body image.

I have a mind-body approach. I combine helpful cognitive and behavioural strategies from traditional talk therapy, such as CBT and ACT with Focusing, an evidence-based somatic therapy, to help generate more profound shifts.Focusing is the process of tuning into your body to get clarity about what is really going on for you and the best way forward. Focusing allows you to understand yourself at a deep level and use your body as a guide.
