My Story
Growing up, I witnessed the impact that addiction, trauma, and loss can have on individuals and families. This early awareness led me to dedicate my career to helping others find understanding, healing, and hope.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic models depending on what best supports you. At the heart of my work is a belief in connection, authenticity, and empowerment — helping clients strengthen their sense of self and break free from unhelpful patterns that no longer serve them.
Alongside private practice, I have worked in community services and aftercare programmes, supporting people in recovery and helping them rebuild healthy, fulfilling lives.
Therapy is not about fixing what’s broken, but about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been silenced or neglected. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and grow when they feel truly seen, heard, and accepted.
It’s an honour to walk alongside people as they begin that journey — learning to move beyond shame, build self-compassion, and live more fully in the present.
