I am a registered holistic counsellor offering a compassionate, integrative, and trauma-informed approach to support individuals and couples through life’s challenges. With advanced training in Level 3 Gottman Method Couples Counselling and Relational Life Therapy level 1, I help partners deepen connection, enhance communication, and navigate conflict and betrayal with empathy and skill. I also bring expertise in nervous system regulation, supporting recovery from trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm. NOTE couples sessions are held in person only.
Drawing from lived experience with childhood trauma and burnout, I offer a grounded, heart-centred presence to help clients find clarity, balance, and a stronger connection to self and others. My approach weaves together evidence-based methods with emotional attunement and holistic practices, including inner child work and wellness coaching.
Whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, you're not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you—gently, respectfully, and without judgment—offering support that is both practical and deeply healing. Together, we’ll create a space of insight, resilience, and emotional safety. With warmth and deep respect, lets find a path forward together.

I support individuals and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, stress, burnout, emotional disconnection, and relationship struggles. A typical treatment plan may include nervous system regulation, emotional freedom techniques & evidence-based therapies like the Gottman Method. You can expect greater emotional clarity, stronger boundaries, deeper self-connection, and more fulfilling relationships.
