Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or struggling with your relationships? Do you find yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour or feeling unsure who you really are? I work alongside clients struggling with intense emotions, an unsure sense of self, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction. I offer a warm and compassionate space for my clients to share their experiences and learn to make meaningful and lasting changes. My approach is to help clients build the skills needed to manage their life effectively and with integrity, so that they feel they are living a life worth living.
I specialize in working with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as neurodivergent individuals (diagnosed or suspected). I offer an eclectic therapeutic approach that allows me to tailor treatment to my clients, as individuals, while they explore their identity, learn to embrace who they are, and improve their quality of life.
I recognize that choosing the right therapist to meet your needs can be a stressful, or even overwhelming, process and that you may be looking for guidance on what to do next. For this reason, I offer a free, no-pressure, 15-minute phone consultation to allow you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have. I am here to help!
