Our life, and the relationships in it, can be messy. As a clinical psychologist, I help people make sense of their stories, using evidence-based approaches rooted in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and attachment theory to understand how early experiences shape the way we relate to others, and how those patterns can change.
Practical, evidence-informed support for clinicians through consultation, workshops and structured training designed to deepen clinical thinking and strengthen skills.
Thoughtful conversations on mental health, relationships and wellness trends through public speaking, media appearances and collaborative discussions.
Psychotherapy, parenting assessments and mental health services focused on clarity, connection and meaningful personal growth.

My clinical work and courses are focused on life transitions and changing family relationships.

I am also fascinated by the patterns of overcorrection in our lives, and how individualistic wellness trends and AI impact our relationships and wellbeing.
