À propos

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) working with youth and young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self‑worth concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and CBT-informed strategies to support emotional regulation and identity development.

Biographie

When achievement becomes your identity, even small setbacks can feel like a crisis of self. In sport, on stage, or in other high‑achievement environments, your sense of worth can become tightly linked to how well you perform. Injury, burnout, or life transitions don’t just interrupt routines — they can quietly shake your sense of who you are. I work with youth and young adults — especially athletes and performers — who are navigating perfectionism, performance anxiety, and identity shifts. Together, we create space to untangle self‑worth from achievement and make room for the parts of you that exist beyond performance. My approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic practices to support emotional regulation, self-compassion, and a steadier sense of self. Therapy isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about understanding yourself more deeply. I also support parents and caregivers of neurodivergent and special needs children who may be carrying chronic stress and advocacy fatigue that often goes unseen. If you’ve been holding a lot quietly, this can be a place where you don’t have to.
