It is hard right now. You didn't ask for this. But it needs attention. Whatever "this" is – whether it’s the heartbreak of loss, old wounds, a troubling pattern of behaviour, chronic pain or an unrelenting inner critic - it is an invitation to look inside. This can be terrifying, but it is also our best bet for moving towards greater self-understanding, connection and peace. In doing this work, it is critical that we feel safe, supported and connected to others and to ourselves. With the right support, you can get to the root of what is holding you back and create space for something new as you navigate life's complexities.
Using a warm, compassionate and gently directive approach, I will help you understand your inner world so you can make peace with the past, skillfully engage with the present and move forward with purpose. I have a special interest in supporting individuals experiencing grief & loss, end of life, trauma, chronic pain and anxiety.
While we cannot change what has happened to us, we can change our responses to it. Making time to understand yourself and your relationship to life’s messiness is not easy. And so you want it to be with someone you can connect with. I invite you to contact me for a consultation to see if I can be that someone for you.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems, a non-pathologizing and experiential approach that fosters understanding of our internal experience and self-compassion. Clients who have previously been in traditional talk therapy often find IFS brings on a whole new level of clarity and change. I further integrate mindfulness and existential approaches to build resilience and values-based living.
