Welcome
When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or just too much to hold by yourself, you don't have to face your feelings alone.
Thank you for meeting me here. It can be hard to make that first step, but doing so brings you one step closer to feeling more at peace and more yourself. If things feel tender or a little uncertain as you arrive, that's completely understandable.
Right now, you might be feeling anxious, low, unsure of yourself, or caught in patterns that don't seem to shift. Whatever you're feeling deserves space and care.
Take your time as you look around and get a sense of who I am and how I work. Choosing a therapist is personal, and it’s important that you feel a genuine, comfortable sense of fit from the beginning.
If you're still finding your way with this, I've written a page about how to choose a therapist, that you might find helpful as you decide what feels right for you.
Therapy offers a steady, grounding space to make sense of what you're carrying and reconnect with parts of you that need attention. I offer warm, relational therapy for adults who feel anxious, unworthy, stuck, uncertain or on the edge of change.
"No feeling is final"
Rainer Maria Rilke
How therapy can support you
.
People come to therapy when they notice:
-
thoughts that spiral or won’t switch off
-
a persistent sense of pressure or not-enoughness
-
overwhelm, anxiety, or emotional intensity
-
deep sadness or an empty feeling
-
a harsh or critical inner voice
-
feeling “on the outside” or disconnected from others
-
tension or unease in the body
-
patterns that don’t seem to shift
-
exhaustion from holding everything together
Therapy offers a space to listen inwardly — to your thoughts, feelings, and the quieter signals in your body. With steady attention, these inner experiences begin to make more sense, and new possibilities can slowly take shape.
Even in times of uncertainty, there is often a quieter knowing within you. Therapy helps create enough room and support for that knowing to be heard.
As this inner awareness develops, it unfolds at its own pace.
There is no “right way” to be in therapy. Some weeks feel full, others quieter. What matters is the continuity of the work and the space it creates for understanding yourself more deeply.
How I work
Kāhore taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini.
We cannot succeed without the support of those around us; together we are strong.
Māori whakatauki (proverb), often attributed to Tāwhiao
I believe healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, with others, and within the therapeutic space. I offer a warm, respectful, and collaborative environment where you can speak freely, be met with curiosity, and feel understood.
My approach is:
Relational — We pay attention to what happens between us, using the therapeutic relationship as a safe foundation for exploration and growth.
Integrative — I draw from a range of therapeutic perspectives, responding to what feels most important in the moment.
Psychodynamic — We explore how your past may shape present thoughts, feelings, and patterns, creating space for new possibilities.
I listen not only to what you say, but to how your experiences show themselves in the body — which can be especially supportive if you’re navigating both emotional and physical layers of your wellbeing.

"For many people, going into the depths of their thoughts and feelings is like going into a dark alley - they don't want to go there alone. People come to therapy to have somebody to go there with... it makes them feel less alone, allows them to see a version of themselves muddling through life..."
