Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just need to talk? I'm here to listen. Whether you're navigating big life changes, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, or seeking better self care or healthy boundaries with others, I'm here to support you. I provide flexible telehealth counselling services (phone or Zoom), offering a safe space to explore what's been on your mind. I'm especially passionate about supporting my clients to create lives that work with their neurodivergence rather than against it. Together, we'll create practical strategies that make sense for your life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or locked in the same painful patterns—whether in your relationships, your sense of self, or your ability to feel safe in the world. Maybe you've tried to push through it, but the anxiety, shame, or emotional exhaustion keeps coming back. You may not have words for what’s wrong, but you know something needs to change. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, struggling in your relationship, or feeling trapped by intense emotions or inner criticism, therapy can offer a space to breathe, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to heal.

Currently I am studying Embodied Processing - a trauma focused modality.
I support women in mid-life to find a new way through all the hard feelings and experiences that keep showing up. Maybe you've been on a quest for self improvement and greater self understanding. You've read the books, joined the groups, listened to the podcasts—you can “let them” like a pro (or at least wish you could). But deep down, something still feels off. Relationships aren't working, you struggle to express yourself and the weight of old wounds, self-doubt, and a quiet, unnameable pain lingers, leaving you wondering if this is just your lot in life.
