About me
Hi, I'm Chloe. I have a BA in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Psychology in Educational Settings, and over the past four years, I've had the privilege of working with children ages 2-7, teens, and individuals in their 20s to 30s, navigating everything from anxiety and ADHD to autism, depression, addiction, and much harder moments too.
I got into this field for a simple reason: I know what it feels like to need help and finally find it, and I wanted to be able to give that feeling to someone else. That's stayed with me in every session since.
More than anything, I want people to leave our time together feeling lighter, happier, and better than when they came in. My clients often tell me our sessions feel like a judgment-free zone, that they can finally say the hard thing out loud and just be met with warmth instead of a reaction. That's exactly what I hope you'll feel too.

Approach
I like our sessions to have real structure and direction; you should always know what we're working on and feel like we're getting somewhere, not just talking in circles. At the same time, that structure never comes at the expense of you feeling safe enough to just be yourself with me.
In practice, that means I lean on CBT when it's helpful to build real, practical tools for the anxious or unhelpful thoughts getting in the way. I lean on humanistic psychology because I genuinely believe the relationship we build matters as much as any technique, and that feeling truly heard is often what helps most. And I lean on psychodynamic work when it's useful to understand why certain patterns or reactions keep showing up in the first place.
I've worked with a wide range of individuals, dealing with ADHD, autism, eating disorders, addiction, learning differences, and low self-confidence, among other things. Whoever I'm sitting with, the through-line is the same: no judgment, just honesty and a real plan for feeling better.
