About:

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 14 years’ experience in mental health, supporting children, teens and adults through life’s more challenging seasons. My approach is warm, collaborative and trauma-informed, drawing on Jungian psychology, Somatic Experiencing® and body-based approaches to help people feel safer, more connected and better able to navigate life.

I believe that healing isn’t just about understanding what we think and feel, but also learning to listen to what our bodies are telling us. I create a space where you and your child can feel seen, heard and supported, without judgement and without having to rush the process.
