About me:

I have worked in various mental health settings, including occupational rehabilitation, acute mental health settings, private practice and in the forensic space. I have experience working with young adults and adults facing a broad range concerns, including OCD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, trauma, substance use, personality issues, self-harm, life transitions, chronic pain, disability, workplace issues, stress, gender- and identity, and neurodiversity. I work with young people, adults, groups and with parents supporting their children in overcoming anxiety and OCD. I use a collaborative and holistic person-centred approach in therapy and draw upon an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities.

My aim is to support you and empower you with skills to navigate challenges and work toward your goals, guided by your values and strengths. Together, we will identify ways to live a life that is meaningful to you and improve your overall wellbeing.
