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 support adults facing big, often messy life changes—new roles, changing relationships, health challenges, or a sense that life isn’t working the way it used to. I also work with other therapists—offering therapy, mentorship, and grounded guidance around the emotional and practical sides of this work.

My style is down-to-earth and collaborative. I don’t just sit back and nod. 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 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.
