As of 2024, I have current availability on Monday mornings, Tuesday afternoons, and Friday mornings/afternoons.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist my aim is to explore the root causes of painfully repetitive patterns of feeling, thought, and behavior. By exploring these patterns and identifying their links to the past, over time these distressing, automatic experiences become transformed into experiences over which one feels a sense of greater control and choice in their present. First and foremost, this is accomplished by providing a space to speak about yourself in a context of confidential, compassionate understanding, where moral judgments have no place.

Originally from the United States, I have practiced and trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy for nearly a decade in settings such as hospitals, community mental health clinics, LGBTQ+ charities, and private practice. I have experience working with depression, loss, anxiety, panic, ADHD, disordered eating, OCD, sexuality and gender identity, intergenerational trauma, intimacy difficulties and relationship issues, among other areas.

Sessions are 50 minutes and offered on an open-ended basis for both long-term work. 

I do offer offer reduced fees on a limited basis depending on individual circumstances. 

I currently have availability on Tuesday afternoons/evenings and Friday mornings/afternoons. 

The therapy hour is an hour for a person to simply be who they are, something that is surprisingly difficult to do in a world filled with harsh demands, expectations, and sometimes tragedies. Sessions take place as free-form conversations about whatever is on your mind, allowing insights to emerge spontaneously as I listen and notice to you patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that have until then seemed to go unnoticed. Over time, this develops your ability to notice these repetitions on your own so that they no longer happen 'to you', but rather become experiences you have choice over. Most of the people I work with have found themselves stuck in these difficult patterns of feeling, thought and behavior that they find to be out of their control, preventing them from simply 'being'. We use words like anxiety, depression, and disorder to describe these painfully repetitive experiences. As a therapist I aim to help introduce a sense of freedom and control over one’s own life.

Originally from the United States, I have been a counsellor and psychotherapist for nearly a decade in a diversity of settings such as hospitals, community mental health clinics, LGBTQ+ charities, and private practice. I have practiced and trained in both the US and the UK, where I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I currently have practices in both Shoreditch and Victoria. 

I have particular experience working with depression, loss, anxiety, panic, ADHD, disordered eating, OCD, sexuality / gender identity, intergenerational trauma, intimacy and relationship issues, among other areas.

Sessions are 50 minutes in length, and the first session is an initial consultation in which we can begin exploring what brings you to therapy, how I might be able to help, and if we seem to be a good match.
