I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, overwhelm, or repeated relational conflict, and who are ready for something deeper than surface-level change.
My approach is calm, relational, and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work by understanding behaviours and the drivers behind them — the patterns, protective strategies, emotions, and unmet needs that shape how you relate to yourself and others. This allows change to happen in a way that feels steady, not forced.
Clients often describe feeling safe, understood, and guided toward meaningful change.
I draw on Gottman-informed couples therapy, IFS-informed therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness, depth work, values-based exploration, non-violent communication, alongside my background in yoga philosophy and yoga therapy. I also incorporate CBT, ACT, and solution-focused approaches where they're a good fit for a client's particular needs.
It takes courage to seek support, and you don’t have to do this alone. Research shows that a strong therapeutic relationship creates real, lasting change. We won’t rely on talk therapy, we will work integratively with mind, body, and nervous system to meet your goals. When you're ready, we can begin.
