Embodied Psychotherapist & Mentor
I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, lost, angry, numb, or disconnected - often holding unprocessed trauma, grief, or emotional pain in their bodies. Maybe you know you’re experiencing burnout or holding trauma, grief, anxiety or old emotional wounds. Maybe you feel like you’re spinning in cycles or patterns of relating you can’t break. Or maybe you just know something isn’t right and you’re ready for change - even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

My extensive knowledge and training around attachment, polyvagal theory and Wheel of Consent work inform all that I offer. I have lived experience of neurodivergence and LGBTQ+
