With over a decade of experience, including training and clinical work in psychiatric and community mental health settings, I support individuals navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, parenting, and gender and sexuality concerns.

My work is informed by psychoanalytic thinking, trauma theory, body-based approaches, and feminist scholarship and perspectives. I am continually interested in how personal history, cultural identity, societal influences, and intergenerational dynamics shape the way we experience ourselves and relate to others. I am also interested in how these experiences are held and lived in the body, shaping patterns of feeling, movement, connection, and self-understanding, often beyond conscious awareness. I am especially attuned to the ways power, inequality, discrimination, and intersecting social identities shape people’s experiences of themselves and the world. This includes the impact of trauma related to war, migration, gender, and other forms of marginalization on mental health and well-being.

I believe that experiences that remain unprocessed do not simply disappear. They can continue to shape our relationships, our choices, and our sense of self across time and even across generations. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion, transforming what has been carried alone into something that can be integrated and lived with differently.

At the heart of my practice is a relational approach. I believe healing happens in connection, and that the therapeutic relationship provides a unique space where pain can be held with care, insight can emerge, and new possibilities can take shape. My approach is grounded in deep respect for each person’s uniqueness and a commitment to creating a space where all parts of one’s experience are welcome.

I find deep meaning and genuine joy in this work. I am endlessly interested in the ways people survive, adapt, and make meaning. It is a privilege to accompany people as they come to understand themselves more deeply, loosen the grip of old patterns, and create the conditions for change. I am continually inspired by people’s creativity, resilience, and capacity for transformation. While meaningful change often requires patience, courage, and sustained effort, I hold a hopeful view of human beings and our ability to grow. Even in the face of longstanding struggles, new ways of understanding ourselves and relating to others remain possible.
