About me
I'm a Gestalt therapist specialized in queer identities and relationships, neurodivergence, non-monogamy and experiences of chronic pain.
In therapy we co-create a space where you can explore your experiences and inner world with honesty and care. My practice is grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique way of being in the world. I also hold a critical awareness of the oppressive systems that shape our lives, supporting you in understanding your struggles not only personally but also structurally. Together, we build pathways toward healing, connection, authenticity and liberation.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
My approach as a therapist is deeply rooted in the interconnectedness of mind, emotion, body, and spirit. With training in Gestalt therapy, I integrate humanist, somatic, and artistic lenses to help clients explore and heal from within, honoring the wisdom of both the body and the mind. Currently expanding my expertise in trauma-informed and somatic approaches, I also weave in elements of parts work to help navigate inner conflicts and promote wholeness. Guided by a queer, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous perspective, I maintain a socially conscious framework to ensure that each person is supported in their unique journey, including the spiritual dimensions of healing as part of the process.
Experience
I have been practicing clinically as a Gestalt therapist for two years, during which I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and couples in a therapeutic setting. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve also facilitated workshops and training sessions for various groups and organizations, focusing on topics such as sexuality, gender perspectives, chronic pain and community-based mental health strategies.
Education
I'm trained as a Gestalt therapist with Gender Equality studies, and also Trauma & Gender-based Violence.
I'm currently studying to become a Somatic Experiencing practitioner.
I also have a strong self-directed interest and ongoing learning in menstrual health, and I incorporate this into my practice. Additionally, I work with parts work to explore and integrate different aspects of the self.
