ABOUT ME
I started my career working in NGO mental health settings before moving into private practice. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and I adapt my approach depending on the developmental stage and needs of each person I see.
Over the years, my work has naturally become centred around trauma - not only because of its complexity, but because of how often it is misunderstood or goes unseen. I was drawn particularly to EMDR Therapy because it offers a way of working that goes beyond talking about what happened and instead supports the system to process what has been held for too long.
EMDR sits at the core of how I work. I use it as a way of supporting the brain and body to do what they are already trying to do: move toward resolution when there is enough safety in place. Alongside EMDR, I draw on parts work, somatic approaches, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and other evidence-based therapies to develop treatment plans that are tailored to each individual's needs.
A large part of my work and clinical interest is with complex trauma, PTSD, dissociation, and dissociative presentations, including Dissociative Identity Disorder. These are among the many presentations I work with, which are outlined further on my services page. My training and ongoing development have been shaped by international clinicians and experts in the field, and I remain committed to ongoing learning and engagement with current research.
I co-founded The Healix Centre because I wanted to create a space built specifically around trauma work, rather than one that simply incorporates it. It is an EMDR-focused group practice, grounded in a shared commitment to depth, safety, and thoughtful care.
At the centre of my work is a simple idea: much of healing is about creating enough safety for what has been shut down, overwhelmed, or fragmented to slowly come back into connection.
