Who I Work With

I offer individual appointments to young adults, aged 18 to 30, and women across a broad range of experiences. Below are several areas that hold a special interest for me:

Navigating Life Transitions

Life transitions can shake our sense of who we are. A career change, the end of a relationship or friendship, grief, health issues, the transition to adulthood, an empty nest, becoming a caregiver, or perimenopause and menopause. Experiences like these can leave us questioning what's happened, who we are now, and where to go from here. Working through these shifts with support can make space to reconnect with yourself and figure out what comes next.

Exploring Neurodiversity

Questioning or exploring your own neurodivergence might mean constantly adjusting yourself to feel acceptable and grieving what that's cost you. It can mean decoding social rules everyone else seems to know instinctively, and losing sight of who you are underneath it, especially in close relationships. It might show up as executive functioning or sensory struggles that make ordinary days feel like more work than they should, or a wish to understand your own unique circumstances, rather than measuring yourself against someone else's idea of what neurodivergent looks like. And it can mean learning to notice what's actually being asked of you day to day, and adjusting your surroundings and expectations to fit that, rather than constantly stretching past it. There’s space here to explore what neurodivergence means for you, without having to measure yourself against anyone else’s version of it.

Complex Trauma and Stress

Longstanding challenges managing emotions and relationships often trace back to childhood or earlier in life. Sometimes there have been difficult or painful events and relationships, and sometimes it’s more about the things that were overlooked or the care that wasn't there when it was needed. This isn't always obvious, even to the person living it. You might have had a genuinely hard relationship with your family or you might describe them as loving and feel like nothing was really wrong but still find yourself swinging between feeling too much and not enough, underneath a quiet belief that you're not good enough, and struggling in life. There's space here to understand where these patterns come from, and gently build towards a steadier sense of who you are.

Fertility

The fertility journey can carry a particular kind of grief. For a pregnancy or a miscarriage, for the months of trying and waiting, and for the future you'd imagined slipping out of reach. It's often lonely too, watching others move through pregnancy and parenthood while carrying a loss that isn't always seen by the people around you. It can mean navigating fertility treatment and everything that comes with it. The toll on your body, your relationship, and your sense of control over your own life. Wherever you're at trying to conceive, moving through loss, in treatment, or working out what's next, there's space here to be heard in it.

Helping Professionals

Many of the people I work with are helping professionals themselves — therapists, nurses, doctors, social workers, teachers, and others in caring roles. When so much of your identity is built around holding things for other people, it can be hard to know who you are outside of that role, or to feel entitled to your own needs. You might carry the weight of other people's pain long after the workday ends, feel like you should always have it together, or find it strange, even uncomfortable, being the one who needs support instead of giving it. Boundaries and burnout often show up here too — knowing when to say no, and what's left of you once everyone else's needs have been met. There's space here to put your own experience first, without having to hold anyone else's while you do it

Relationships & Connection

Struggles with a partner, family, or friends. Recurring conflict, trouble trusting, pulling away or feeling smothered when things get close, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling lonely even when you're not alone. There's space here to work through what's happening, and find a different way forward.

You might also know these as:

Sometimes commonly used words to describe the experiences of the people I work with include: depression, anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, complex PTSD (C-PTSD) or PTSD, adjustment disorder, autism and ADHD, grief, identity issues, low self-esteem, body image concerns, relationship or attachment difficulties, and anxious or avoidant attachment.

A Note on Fit

Due to the limitations of a telehealth-only, solo practice, as well as my training and clinical experience I’m not able to work with clients experiencing self-harm, suicidality, eating disorders, substance use disorders, or other significant risk-taking behaviours. I’m happy to provide options for service better placed to support these issues.
