About me and my therapy approach

​

Healing isn't just about reducing pain; it's about radically increasing your capacity for vitality. Vitality is more than feeling 'fine'—it's that feeling of being fully alive, connected, and authentically yourself.

 

In our work together, we will:

 

• Regulate your Nervous System: Gently process the stored stress and trauma in your body so you can feel safe and centered, not constantly on edge.

​​

• Rewrite your Relational Blueprint: Understand the core wounds that shape your relationships, and practice building secure attachment both internally and externally.

​​

• Cultivate Emotional Freedom: Move beyond people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and self-doubt to embrace your authentic voice and boundaries.

 

You don't have to stay stuck in old loops. It’s possible to transform deep-seated pain into a greater capacity for connection, joy, and vibrant living.

 

My Approach: From Relational Wounds to Inner Freedom and Vitality

​

I believe that every struggle in the present is connected to a strategy for survival learned in the past. If you find yourself repeatedly drawn into the same exhausting relationship dynamics, battling constant anxiety, or feeling detached and alone even when surrounded by people, we need to look deeper at your attachment blueprint.

 

As an attachment trained specialist, I focus on helping you understand, heal, and transform the core wounds that were created when early needs for safety and connection weren't consistently met. This isn't just about coping; it's about fundamentally changing how your nervous system responds to stress, intimacy, and conflict.

 

My clinical work is grounded in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing (SE)] which allows us to address the intellectual, emotional, and bodily imprints of relational trauma. We work together to:

 

• Integrate past pain without re-traumatizing.

 

• Cultivate a secure inner-base so you can trust yourself.

 

• Build capacity for genuine intimacy and strong, healthy boundaries.

 

The result of this work is more than symptom relief. It is a profound shift into a life of vitality—a feeling of being grounded, confident, and authentic. My passion is guiding you out of survival mode and into the joyful, deeply connected life you were meant to live.

ADHD ​COACHING​

​

As a clinician with my own lived experience of late ADHD diagnosis I am passionate about coaching high functioning individuals who struggle living with ADHD challenges especially how it impacts work, study and their relationships.

The daily struggle as a neurodiverse person living in a society structured for neurotypical people can take a toll on your physical and mental health. It takes a lot of self understanding, compassion and commitment to navigate the unique challenges and having a coach can support you in your specific challenges.
