Relationship Challenges, Loneliness, Unresolved Trauma + Navigating the Complex World

Therapy Sessions | Bespoke Super Sessions

I offer therapy for individuals and couples with a focus on relational depth, attachment resilience, and the complexities of modern intimacy.

In a world that often feels disconnected and overwhelming, I know what it’s like to navigate the tension between wanting to belong and the fear of being seen. Whether you are struggling with the weight of unresolved trauma, the intricacies of sexual health, or the isolating patterns of modern dating, I provide a "soft landing" to explore what is truly holding you back.

What it’s like to work with me…

A blend of deep clinical insight and a soft place to land.

Uncovering the patterns that keep you stuck; building the skills that set you free.

Navigating the complexities of modern love with grounded, real-world tools.

I believe…

I believe your patterns were once your protection, and while they may have helped you survive the past, we can work together to build the new skills you need to thrive in the present.

I believe the body remembers what the mind tries to forget, and true change happens when we listen to the nervous system, not just the logic.

I believe how you speak to yourself sets the blueprint for how you allow others to speak to you, self-compassion is the foundation of every healthy boundary.

We’ll begin with the 'long exhale'…acknowledging where you’re stuck without the pressure to perform. It’s about building skills, restoring trust, and finally feeling at home in your own relationships.

My Approach

  • I draw from a range of evidence-based frameworks to support your unique history, relationship patterns, and intimacy goals. Some of the modalities I integrate into our "assemblage" of care include:

    • The Gottman Method (Gold-standard tools for couples and communication)

    • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) (Practical skills for emotional regulation)

    • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (Deepening attachment and emotional safety)

    • Existential Therapy (Exploring meaning, choice, and your place in the modern world)

    I am trauma-informed and relationship-affirming—which means I respect the wisdom of your nervous system and the survival strategies you’ve built to protect yourself and your heart.

    In everyday terms? I provide a steady presence and a strategic roadmap. I help you name the patterns that are keeping you disconnected, offer practical tools to repair trust, and guide you in building a life—and a partnership—that feels truly secure and authentic.

  • I work with individuals and couples who are navigating the complexities of connection and self—with a focus on creating safety, depth, and authentic bonds.

    Some of the people I support include:

    • Individuals & Couples navigating the highs and lows of modern dating, long-term commitment, or shifting relationship structures.

    • Folks exploring intimacy and sexual health, addressing concerns like sexual dysfunction, low desire, or the weight of shame.

    • Partners in the "messy middle" of conflict who are ready to move from defensive cycles toward meaningful repair and trust.

    • High-achievers and deep-givers who struggle with the "armor" of self-reliance and want to learn how to be truly seen.

    • Anyone grappling with attachment patterns, loneliness, or the persistent feeling of being disconnected from themselves or others.

    • People moving through big life transitions—career shifts, relationship endings, or identity changes—who need a grounded place to land.

    If you’ve ever felt like "it shouldn't be this hard to connect" or "I don't know how to ask for what I need"—you’re in the right place. We’ll work together to move beyond the survival patterns and build the fulfilling, secure life you’re looking for.
