Clinical Psychologist
I come to this work not just as a therapist, but as a person with compassion and understanding. While years of study and professional training inform my practice, even more importantly I rely on curiosity, empathy and humanity as a vehicle for connection and change. I believe effective therapy doesn’t need to feel stuffy or too clinical to generate profound insights and develop vital skills. Find out more about me and my approach to therapy.
I provide therapy for a range of mental health struggles including complex trauma and childhood emotional neglect (CEN), difficult family dynamics (dealing with a narcissistic parent, enmeshment), depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and setting healthy boundaries in interpersonal relationships. I am very passionate about supporting women that are experiencing emotional and psychological abuse in relationships, coercive control, dealing/separating with a narcissistic partner and post-separation abuse.
I listen carefully and read between the lines, helping you figure out what is really going on and how to forge your own, unique path forward. You can expect me to show up in a direct, real, and compassionate way. My goal is to support you as you develop increased self-awareness, confidence and healthy boundaries that foster lifelong changes and increased well-being.
Difficult Family Dynamics
My work is grounded in a deep commitment to supporting women experiencing emotional abuse and coercive control by a partner. Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to untangle the confusion and name what’s really happening—especially when the abuse is subtle, chronic, and disguised as care or concern.
This is what led me to develop The 3Ds of Emotional Abuse—a clear and practical framework to help make sense of the patterns that so often go unseen: Disrespect, Disempower, and Distort. These aren’t just behaviours—they are the pillars that hold emotional abuse in place. When we can name them, we can begin to dismantle them.
