Trauma profoundly impacts how we make sense of the world, how we regulate ourselves, and how we relate to others. I recognise that trauma has various manifestations. Incidents like accidents or sudden loss, sexual and relational abuse, war, poverty, or growing up in high-stress / high-conflict families.

I provide a compassionate and grounding space where survivors can process their experiences. I centre the client’s needs, offering tools from crisis-management, neuropsychological techniques to improve self-regulation, and talk therapy.

Our earliest attachments create relational blue-prints, which we repeat well into adulthood. We can subconsciously recreate behaviours and relational patterns we have internalised at a young age. In therapy, I bring attention to these early dynamics, helping clients to change their actions and relationships in the present.

I also support clients who witness or experience high-conflict relationships. This may include verbal, physical, emotional, or financial abuse.

Depression is the most commonly experienced mental health symptom across the globe. You may be noticing low mood, changes in appetite, disturbance in sleep, crying spells, or increased irritability. You may know why you are feeling depressed, or you may feel confused about its origin. Both are quite normal.

I offer support through talk therapy, behavioural activation techniques, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. Most importantly, we create a compassionate space, where your feelings and experiences can be understood.

Loss takes many forms, and can make us feel unmoored. It may be the loss of a loved one, a familiar place, a beloved animal companion, or the anticipation or losing ourself or a loved one to illness. I offer a holding space for difficult feelings, coming to terms with the loss, and gradually integrating it into our lives in a meaningful way.

I also work with Complex Grief. You may be grieving a conflicted relationships, or someone who is alive but inaccessible. All human experience is complex, valid, and approached without judgement.

Research affirms that stress disrupts our physical, cognitive, emotional, and relational health. And prolonged stress, without relief or effective management, can even reduce life-span.

Wherever your stress is rooted, I have a variety of approaches to help you manage it effectively. I use talk therapy to encourage catharsis, mindfulness and breath-work to help the body reduce stress, and expressive arts techniques to use joy and playfulness as a counter to negative thoughts.

The word “conflict” has a bad reputation. When in fact, not only is conflict an inevitable part of life, it can be an essential component of healthy relationships.

I teach behavioural techniques that can help you manage anger, irritability, and outbursts—which can create unhealthy conflict. I also share communication and listening strategies that transform conflict into a means of growing closer and becoming more productive.

Individual mental health is formed in the interaction of our inner and outer worlds. Systems of culture, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and identity influence how we experience the world, where we find belonging, and where we are safe.

I create space for clients to explore multicultural identity, experiences of migration and adjustment, and navigating blended cultures in families.
