My Approach
Every human being carries a unique signature of experience - shaped by family, history, and the wider field in which we live.
My approach to my work is rooted in deep presence, respect, and trust in each person’s inner knowing.
Healing, to me, is not about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what’s whole, and allowing the parts of us that have adapted, split off, or gone silent to find their place again.
My role is to accompany you. To listen carefully - not just to your words, but to what is moving underneath: in your nervous system, in your relationships, in the wider systemic field. I’m interested in what wants to emerge when safety is restored and when your truth can be felt and spoken.
My work draws from a range of modalities, including developmental (NARM) and collective trauma integration, somatic mindfulness, Focusing (Gendlin), and attachment dynamics (McCluskey) - all held within a relational field shaped by my training with Thomas Hübl and years of working in spiritual care.
I also bring a systemic lens to the work, informed by my ongoing inquiry into ancestral, cultural, and intergenerational patterns.
Therapy is not a linear path. It’s an unfolding, a reweaving of what was left behind, a remembering of your place, and a deepening into what it means to be human, together.
Psychotherapy
I offer psychotherapy for adults with a particular focus on developmental trauma - the imprints that shape us in early life and continue to echo in our relationships, sense of self, and capacity to feel at home in the world.
My therapeutic approach is process-oriented and rooted in somatic mindfulness.
I work with what arises in the moment: sensations, emotions, patterns, and the subtle movements of the nervous system. This is not a technique-driven process, but a relational unfolding guided by safety, attunement, and deep listening.
Together, we explore how your early strategies for coping may now limit your freedom, and how something more authentic, connected, and alive can begin to emerge.

Areas of Focus
I work with adults who are navigating emotional, relational, and existential challenges. My approach is shaped by a deep respect for your personal history, your body’s wisdom, and the wider systemic and cultural forces that shape our lives.
Many people come to me when they find themselves at a threshold, something isn’t working the way it used to, and a deeper shift is calling. Together, we explore what is ready to be met, integrated, or released.
Some of the areas I regularly support clients with include:
Developmental & Relational Trauma
Early attachment wounds and childhood adversity
Chronic shame, inner criticism, or a sense of not belonging
Difficulty forming or sustaining close relationships
Patterns of emotional disconnection or over-responsibility
Emotional & Psychological Challenges
Anxiety, low mood, and persistent inner tension
Burnout, exhaustion, and high-functioning overwhelm
Grief, loss, and life after rupture
Spiritual or existential crises
Life Transitions & Inner Work
Major life changes and identity shifts
Questions around meaning, purpose, and inner alignment
Becoming a parent, aging, or facing illness
Reconnecting with creativity, aliveness, and inner truth
This work is not about diagnosis or fixing, it’s about listening closely to what your system is holding, and gently restoring movement where things have been stuck or fragmented.
Coaching
Coaching work is for individuals who are navigating meaningful questions, in life, in leadership, in relationship, or at key moments of transition. These are not always problems to be solved, but thresholds to be crossed with care, clarity, and presence.
Coaching with me is not about performance or quick fixes. It’s about slowing down to listen more deeply, attuning to your inner compass, and acting from a place of grounded integrity.
Common themes I support coaching clients with include:

Group Offers
Some healing can only happen in community.
While individual work offers depth and intimacy, group spaces create a different kind of field, one where we recognize ourselves in others, where isolation gives way to belonging, and where collective wounds can be met together.
In my facilitation, I weave somatic awareness, relational dialogue, and collective inquiry into safe and steady group containers. These are not about advice or debate, but about creating a living space of presence, respect, and shared exploration.
