About me

I’m a seasoned therapist with a deep, varied background in helping roles that shape how I show up in the therapy room. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years working in education, development and international humanitarian aid. I’ve worked across cultures and continents, with people navigating loss, transition, trauma, and complex life circumstances. These experiences taught me how to meet people where they’re at—with respect, curiosity, and compassion.

Now, as a therapist in private practice, I choose to work with helpers and deep feelers when life changes, stretches, or starts asking more than it used to. Whether it’s a new role, a relationship shift, health challenges, or ongoing stress, these moments can leave you feeling off-balance, even if you’re used to being the steady one. 

Alongside client work,  I enjoy working with other therapists, offering therapy, mentorship, and guidance that holds both the emotional weight of the work and its practical demands. Shaped by my own experience in practice, I value collaboration and shared learning — supporting clinicians with reflection, skill-building, and concrete aspects like office design and practice development. 

My style is down-to-earth and collaborative. I’m right there with you—engaged, curious, and always tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. I use an integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities and mind-body techniques. I bring in what works—from different traditions, clinical frameworks, and real-world experience—and leave behind what doesn’t. You’re not a diagnosis or a set of symptoms. You’re a whole person. I’m here to support that whole person, with depth, integrity, and care.

I'm a dog person. I also am an eternal helping professional and a big fan of slowing down and creatively exploring and experiencing life and one's internal world.

SLOWING DOWN...... my morning ritual with coffee, quiet & stillness, cuddles & walks with my dog Zeebo (fun fact- I'm also trained in canine massage therapy), getting outside & connecting with nature whatever the season.

CALMNESS & GROUNDING....being near or in water... using my quasi- green thumb to try growing things both inside & out, nurturing the meaningful connections in my life.

CURIOUSITY....... off the beaten-track travelling, the thrill of getting lost in new places, trying new, weird & spicy foods, exploring gem stones & their energies, life-long learning.

PLAY, CREATE AND HAVE FUN.....experimenting with photographs, textiles & interior design, playing with the written word, laughs with friends.
