You may be sensing that the life you’ve built no longer fits in the way it once did. Grief, relationship strain, burnout, or a quiet inner shift might be pulling you toward deeper truth. You want clarity, steadiness, and emotional coherence, both within yourself and in your relationships. You’re reflective, intuitive, and ready to understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with a more authentic way of living. A part of you knows there is something meaningful emerging, and you’re looking for a therapist who can meet your depth, honour your inner world, and support real, sustainable change.
I integrate neuroscience, humanistic counselling, and evidence-based frameworks to support deep, sustainable change. My work draws on IFS-informed therapy, Gottman-informed couples work, mindfulness, and nervous-system regulation, alongside contemplative and somatic practice to support whole-person integration.
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.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are seeking purpose and meaning in their lives. During our initial sessions, we will identify the core issues and collaborate to create a personalized plan for addressing them, helping you regain control and direction.
