Life transitions can unsettle your sense of self at any age. Women of all ages experience changes and transitions that leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly lost. You may be facing immigration, menopause, health concerns, career changes, grief, or an identity that no longer fits. Even positive change can feel disorienting. Even long-awaited milestones can carry unexpected grief. Standing at the threshold of adulthood, about to get married, or navigating motherhood can still be challenging. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support.
My approach is grounded, warm, and collaborative. As a female counsellor, psychotherapist, and hypnotherapist I have a deep respect for women's lived experiences. I do not see you as a problem to fix. I see you as a person in transition. Our work together is about creating a safe space where you can slow down and begin to understand yourself more clearly.
If you are the one who keeps going while quietly feeling overwhelmed or unsure of who you are becoming, this may be for you. I especially love working with adult women of all ages who feel stuck in transition yet expected to cope. You deserve space to be heard, understood, and supported. If this resonates, I would love to hear from you.

I am committed to supporting women through change and transition. Together, we will explore what this shift means for you, the fears and uncertainties it brings, and the identity changes that often come with it. We will make sense of it at your pace. Along the way, you will build practical tools for resilience, emotional steadiness, and greater confidence in what comes next

I integrate different modalities such as Narrative and Somatic therapies, hypnosis, CBT, and ACT in order to offer a tailor-made experience to my clients.
