My Story

If you’re a sensitive woman, you’ve probably spent years feeling like you have to hold everything together – managing others’ emotions, striving to meet expectations, and pushing through exhaustion. You may have been told you’re “too sensitive” or felt like your emotions were too much. Over time, that can lead to overthinking, anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or even unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I understand this deeply. Not just from my work as a psychotherapist, but from my own lived experience.

Before training as a therapist, I worked as a researcher, lecturer, and musician. Music has always been a huge part of my life – not just as something I studied, but as a way to express emotions that felt too big for words. Songwriting, singing, and playing piano and guitar have been forms of healing and self-discovery for me, and I love weaving the power of sound and self-expression into my work. My academic journey led me to earn a Master’s and PhD in music psychology, exploring the deep connection between music, emotion, and mental well-being.

Alongside my research, I trained in The Reach Approach psychotherapy model, blending science-backed therapeutic techniques with holistic, mind-body practices. My own journey led me to explore nervous system regulation, subconscious patterning, and emotional resilience – approaches that transformed my understanding of both myself and the work I do with clients.

Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me writing songs, singing, or playing guitar and piano, moving my body through power yoga, or recharging in nature. I love hiking, traveling (especially to South-East Asia) and losing myself in good music (trip-hop and electronica have my heart). I believe creativity, movement, and connection are essential parts of healing, and I encourage my clients to explore what truly lights them up.
