Therapy that actually moves something.
Most people I work with already have insight. They know their patterns, they understand their history. What’s missing is the bridge between what they know and what they actually feel and do.
This is where we work.
My approach
My approach
I offer in-depth individual therapy for people who want to understand and shift the patterns shaping their relationships — with others and with themselves.
Often these patterns have long roots. The beliefs we carry about whether we’re loveable, whether closeness is safe, whether we’re fundamentally enough — these aren’t usually formed in adulthood. They develop early, through the relationships that shaped us, and they become so familiar that we stop noticing them. They show up in who we’re drawn to, how we handle conflict, what we do when we feel hurt or unseen, how we speak to ourselves when things go wrong.
Insight into all of this is valuable. But insight alone rarely shifts it. That’s because these patterns aren’t just held in thought — they live in the body, in automatic responses, in the things we do before we’ve had a chance to choose differently.
My approach works on both levels at once. We think together about what’s happening — the patterns, the history, the beliefs underneath. And at the same time, we pay close attention to what’s happening in your body as we do that. Often it’s the moment those two things connect that something genuinely shifts.
I draw on EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Hakomi — approaches that work with the nervous system, the body, and the core beliefs formed through early relational experience. This isn’t about bypassing the thinking mind. It’s about working with the whole of you.
This is active, engaged therapy. I won’t just listen and nod.
What we might work on
This isn’t a complete list — if something feels relevant but isn’t here, please get in touch.
Relational patterns The dynamics that repeat across relationships. Difficulty with closeness or commitment. Giving a great deal and feeling unseen. Losing yourself in relationships, or keeping others at arm’s length. The push and pull of wanting connection while fearing what it costs.
Relationship with yourself The internal critic that won’t quieten. A chronic sense of not being quite enough. Difficulty knowing what you actually feel or want. Patterns of self-abandonment — putting others first in ways that leave you depleted.
Attachment and early experience When something in childhood — the emotional availability of a parent, early loss, the atmosphere you grew up in — has left a mark on how you relate now. This work isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding the patterns you learned and beginning to have more choice about them.
Stuck points Sometimes people arrive knowing something needs to change but unable to name exactly what. That’s a completely legitimate place to start. Often the work begins precisely there.
Working online
Individual therapy sessions are currently conducted online. Many clients find that being in their own space actually supports this kind of inward-focused work — and working with the body doesn’t require us to be in the same room. It requires you to be in your body, and we can work with that wherever you are.

What I can help with
Many of my clients come with one or more of the following. This isn’t a complete list, so if something feels relevant but isn’t here, please get in touch.
Trauma & PTSD
Including complex or developmental trauma, the kind that other therapy hasn’t quite touched. We work at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Relationships
With others and with yourself. The patterns that repeat, the closeness that feels unsafe, the self-criticism that won’t quieten. I also work with couples on communication and how you relate to one another as well as exploring the deeper patterns that are present in your relationship.
Anxiety & depression
Not just managing symptoms but understanding what underlies them and beginning to shift the patterns that keep them in place.
A sense something needs to change
Even if you can’t quite name what. Sometimes that’s the most honest place to start.
