If you’re wondering why you keep ending up in the same situations, doing things you wish you wouldn’t, or feeling anxious or empty no matter what you try, you’re not alone. I’ve been there myself, and so have many of my clients before starting therapy. These patterns often mean it’s time to look a little deeper.
 
Managing my own mental health felt like a losing battle. Then I found the common denominator in seemingly unrelated issues. When I sought therapy for complex trauma, I learned practical tools for coping, improved my self-understanding, and strengthened my resilience. The results went far beyond my expectations.
 
I believe lasting change comes from the relationship the therapist and client build together. Often, feeling safe and seen by another person is all we need to begin a new chapter. I combine deep knowledge of complex and developmental trauma with a felt sense of where my clients currently are. You will find me compassionate and attentive, mixing sincerity and humour to create a healing therapeutic relationship.
 
My approach works well for deep-rooted challenges like relationship problems, developmental trauma, CPTSD, BPD, and DID. I focus on what happens between us in sessions to help you connect with yourself and others in new ways. This is the heart of psychodynamic therapy. I also pay attention to what our bodies tell us, as explained in polyvagal theory. Trauma can break up our inner world, leaving us numb, disconnected, or in conflict with ourselves. That’s where parts work can make a difference.
 
From what I’ve seen in my own life and in my clients’ lives, therapy helps people understand themselves, find better ways to cope, and grow in ways that last. That’s why I believe it’s one of the most rewarding things we can do.
