Personally.

My path to psychotherapy wasn’t a straight line. It started with a career in marketing then to homeopathy, where I first learned to see the whole person rather than just the presenting problem. Working in that space showed me early on that you can’t really separate the body from the mind, and that healing rarely happens when you treat them as though you can. That realization planted a seed that eventually brought me to counselling psychology and the work I do today.

But honestly, my personal life has shaped me just as much as my training. I know firsthand what it feels like to rebuild something after it’s fallen apart, to sit in the uncertainty of whether repair is even possible, and then to find out it is. I’ve experienced grief, anxiety, work burnout, persistence, defeat, success, contentment, and joy. Those experiences gave me a kind of empathy I don’t think you can get from a textbook. They’re also part of why I’m so drawn to working with people navigating relationships, transitions, and the quieter kinds of trauma that don’t always get named. I came to this work because I believe the therapeutic relationship matters as much as any technique or theory. People heal when they feel safe, understood, and met where they actually are. My goal is to be a therapist who shows up as a real person, brings solid clinical knowledge, and stays genuinely invested in your growth for as long as that takes.
