About me and how I work

You’re not broken. Sometimes we reach difficult moments in life and the ways we’ve learned to cope no longer seem to work. We can feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.

I know from my own life that these moments aren’t easy to navigate alone. I’ve spent much of my adult life trying to understand myself better, including the ways I’ve coped, the relationships I’ve formed and the choices I’ve made. That experience is part of what eventually brought me to this work.

I meet you where you are, without judgement, and together we begin to make sense of what’s happening. The relationship between us matters. Therapy gives us somewhere to look honestly at how you relate to yourself and other people, what you need, and the patterns that might be getting in the way.

I work primarily as a Gestalt therapist, paying attention to what is happening for you in the present. I also draw on psychodynamic ideas to understand how early relationships and experiences may have shaped you. Together, we can explore what helped you survive or cope in the past and whether those ways of being still serve you now.

Before coming to this work, my professional life began in music. My own search eventually led me through coaching, yoga, breathwork and other forms of personal development before I trained in Gestalt. I’ve also trained in gender psychology, addiction and group facilitation. All of that experience informs my work, but I don’t believe there is one way of working that fits everyone.

If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to have worked everything out before you contact me. We can start with a conversation about what’s happening and see whether working together feels right.
