Are you a teen or young adult who looks “put together” on the outside, but internally feels anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly hard on yourself? You may be highly sensitive, deeply attuned to others’, and prone to overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. The clients I work with are high-functioning and achievement-oriented, yet feel burnt out, emotionally flooded, or stuck in cycles of worry they can’t shut off. You might be navigating academic or performance pressure, life transitions, social or health anxiety, or a complicated relationship with body image, and want practical tools to feel calm and secure.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, persistent worry, emotional overwhelm, and stress related to high expectations. I support clients in understanding their emotional patterns, chronic stress, attachment patterns, trauma and stress responses while building practical skills for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, self-trust, and confidence.
With a background in education, I have an interest in supporting students, educators and others in high performance-based or helping roles to understand how their nervous system responds to pressure. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to you!

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, persistent worry, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I also support those navigating life transitions, social or health anxiety, performance pressure, and body image, especially when sensitivity and high expectations intensify these challenges, drive disconnection and feeling stuck.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each client. At times we may explore past experiences and family patterns; at others, we focus on building skills and moving toward the life you want. I work from a trauma-informed lens, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Polyvagal Theory and Solution-Focused Therapy to support meaningful change.
