I am a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years experience. I help people to rapidly get to the core issues which keep them stuck in their lives, be it difficulties in their relationships or chronic depression/anger/anxiety, to name a few.

The treatment approaches I use are evidence-based, meaning they've been res...

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you. As a highly sensitive autistic woman, I am passionate about supporting neurodiverg...

I have a hard time saying no to people...I feel constantly overwhelmed, like I can’t handle my own emotions...Why do I keep making the same mistakes when it comes to relationships? If these thoughts resonate with you, you’re not alone. These struggles can make you feel stuck, questioning yourself and your worth, wondering if you’ll ever feel better.
