About me

When simply functioning is no longer enough. I offer psychological support for professionals and those with an international life navigating complex life and work challenges. Together, we'll identify patterns and create meaningful, lasting change using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused approaches. I spend much of the year on Madeira, Portugal, and live in an international relationship, giving me a personal understanding of cultural transitions and the challenges of balancing different worlds. Outside of work, I enjoy swiming, gardening, hiking, and spending time in nature—activities that help me stay grounded and bring the same curiosity and presence to my work with clients.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the foundation of my work. Combined with systemic perspectives and solution-focused short-term therapy, I provide individualized and practical support. I view therapy and counseling as a collaborative project: you bring your knowledge of your situation, I bring my expertise and proven approaches. Together, we develop effective strategies for your personal goals. Focus areas: Depressive Mood: Depression often develops alongside prolonged stress, major life changes or demanding careers. I work with professionals and international clients to regain stability, resilience and direction. Stress & Burnout: Many of my clients function well on the outside while experiencing ongoing stress and exhaustion internally. I help them regain clarity, resilience and a healthier balance. Anxiety: Anxiety:Anxiety often manifests as constant worrying, inner restlessness, or the pressure to always perform perfectly. Together, we will decode your specific anxiety patterns, look at the underlying triggers, and build concrete mental and physical tools to help you regain your sense of control, calm, and confidence in demanding situations.
