I am a clinical psychologist who seeks to understand exactly what's going on for you and why, and how we can work together to achieve the life you want to live. I believe in treating the whole person - not just symptoms or a diagnosis in isolation. I have an interest in how the brain and body operate together during emotional states. This means my approach includes 'not just talking', and will include education and skill-building for true understanding and meaningful change.

At the heart of my practice is a deep belief that every individual has the innate capacity for growth, healing, and transformation.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, tailored to your specific needs and goals. However, I believe that true transformation extends beyond techniques and theories. It requires a genuine commitment to self-exploration, a willingness to embrace discomfort, and a readiness to actively participate in the process of change.
