Is something getting in the way of living the life you want to live? Combining life experience, training and professional expertise, I can help as you face the challenges of a chronic illness, pain, grief and loss including life transitions, and the aftermath of a traumatic impactful event or a history of trauma (including physical, emotional and sexual trauma), depression, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm and relationship issues.

With training in western psychology and eastern philosophy, and as a chaplain, I offer an individualized approach integrating emotional, physical and spiritual, and grounded in empathy, caring and compassionate healing - using cutting-edge interventions such as Brainspotting and EMDR, and expertise in mindfulness practices, neuroscience, attachment and family dynamics.

Trained in London, UK, I have provided psychotherapy and psychoanalysis since 1988. As my approach is psychoanalytic, I listen attentively for those unconscious patterns that may be preventing you from fully living and loving. Through psychotherapy you can discover insight into those patterns in a secure therapeutic relationship, where you can begin to listen to yourself. I believe that the therapeutic process is collaborative: we work together to make sense of your experience, so that you can continue your life journey in a way that is uniquely right for you. I have a particular interest in pregnancy, miscarriage, infertility, prenatal/postpartum anxiety/depression, relationship issues, life transitions including student-related concerns, mother/daughter dynamics, and the challenge of defining yourself as a woman in the 21st century.
