Therapy Time

Many of the people I work with individually are, by most measures, doing well. They are capable, self-aware, and have often spent years managing their inner world efficiently. What brings them to therapy is usually something that efficiency can’t reach: a pattern that keeps repeating, a relationship that keeps disappointing, a quiet sense that something important is missing.

​

My work with individuals is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT), an attachment-based approach that takes your emotional experience seriously rather than treating it as something to be corrected or contained. We work with what your emotions are actually telling you, and in doing so, begin to shift the patterns that have kept you stuck. Here are some possible areas of focus, although not exhaustive:

​

Recovering from narcissistic abuse

The aftermath of a relationship with a narcissistic partner is often invisible to the outside world. You may look fine. You may even wonder whether your experience was really as damaging as it felt. Narcissistic abuse leaves a distinctive kind of wound: eroded self-trust, a distorted sense of reality, and a complicated grief for a relationship that never quite existed as you hoped. I am a certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, trained with Dr Ramani Darvasula, and this is one of the areas of my work I find most meaningful.

​

ADHD and emotional life

My own later-in-life ADHD diagnosis gave me an understanding of this experience from the inside. ADHD is not simply a productivity issue; it shapes how you feel, how you relate, and how you experience yourself in your closest relationships. I bring both clinical training and personal familiarity to this work.

 

Anxiety, depression and meaning

Rather than managing symptoms alone, we work at the roots. What is the emotional experience sustaining your anxiety? What has been lost, or perhaps never found, that makes life feel flat? These questions open something. The answers often surprise people.

​

Relationship patterns

Whether you are single and tired of finding yourself in the same dynamic, or partnered and struggling to feel truly known, individual therapy can help you understand what you bring to your closest connections, and begin to change it.

​

Grief and loss

Every loss is different, and every story deserves to be heard. Therapy offers the space to move at your own pace, without pressure to be further along than you are.

​

Identity, transition and meaning

Significant life changes; career shifts, divorce, becoming a parent, growing older; often surface questions we haven’t had time to ask. Existential ideas run through everything I do, and this kind of exploratory work is something I find genuinely sustaining.
