About me and my therapy practice

All relationships matter.  Whether you are navigating the complexities of a long-term partnership, building a business with a co-founder, or healing a bond with a sibling, I provide a grounded, inclusive space to help you communicate with clarity and heart.

With a background in the tech sector and years of experience as a high-level coach, I bring a pragmatic, solution-oriented energy to the therapeutic process. 

I understand the high-pressure environments my clients often navigate and how professional stress can bleed into personal lives (and vice versa).

Having re-trained as a Psychotherapist in 2016, my training and experience has helped me build a relational practice based on trauma informed principles.  Our early experiences of relationships - with our caregivers, our teachers and our peers - inform our 'emotional blueprints'.  Even though we aren't the original 'Architects' of these blueprints, we can update them. 

By learning about our relationship models, our attachment styles, and our patterns of relating with others; we can start to make changes that better serve our current relationship needs.

I don't have a vested interest in the outcome of your relationship, but I do want to help you deepen your understanding of yourselves and each other.

Practice description

My practice is deeply rooted in LGBTQ+ advocacy, with a primary focus on working with queer women. I am also neurodivergence-informed, ensuring that our sessions are accessible and tailored to how your brain naturally processes the world. 

I work across the full spectrum of relationship stages and structures, including:

Pre-Commitment & Marriage: Building a blueprint for a shared future.

Relationship Coaching: Sharpening communication and deepening intimacy.

Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) & Polyamory: Navigating open structures with trust and transparency.

Separation & Conscious Uncoupling: Ending a chapter with dignity and mutual respect.

Relational dynamics aren't limited to romantic partners. I apply my systemic training to:

Family: Mother-daughter and sibling reconciliation.

Professional: Co-founders and colleagues looking to resolve friction and improve synergy.

Friendship: Navigating transitions or conflicts within platonic bonds.

My Approach I offer a blend of clinical depth and coaching agility.

You can expect a space that is:

Direct & Transparent: I won’t just nod; I’ll offer observations and tools you can use immediately.

Identity-Affirming: Your sexuality, gender identity, and neurotype are celebrated, not just "tolerated."

Systemic: We look at the "third entity"—the relationship itself—to see what it needs to thrive.

Whether you’re looking to reconnect, restructure, or find a graceful way to say goodbye, let's work together to find the path forward.

My first session

Before we dive into the collective work, I invite each of you to a dedicated individual session. This is a way for me to get to know your unique 'map' of the world and what you hope to achieve. By the time we join up for our third session, we’ve already built a foundation of trust.

Clients tell me that this approach is not only more comfortable, it’s effective, often reducing the total number of sessions needed.

We’ll usually work together for 6 weeks before pausing to check in on our progress. I offer packages and single sessions depending for flexbility.
