About
Welcome to the next step on your mental wellbeing journey! As we settle into 2026, there’s no better time to prioritize yourself through therapy. You may have been told you are "too sensitive", or that your emotions are too much. Perhaps you’re seeking relational support, working to build confidence, or hoping to deepen your self-understanding. Maybe it feels what you have been doing, just is not working for you anymore. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a meaningful space to move toward a more fulfilling life and create positive, lasting change. I would be honored to join you. I practice using Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapy & EMDR, exploring the parts of oneself with curiosity and science backed techniques, while drawing attention to your mind, body and spiritual connection. I believe there are no "bad" parts of ourself; every habit, thought, and tendency you have once served a purpose. Let's explore those parts together.
