Do you find yourself longing for closeness, yet bracing for hurt? Many people I work with have lived through trauma, attachment wounds, childhood emotional neglect and abuse, or difficult breakups/ divorces. These experiences shape how we protect ourselves sometimes by pulling back, overthinking, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed. In our work, we explore how your history lives in your patterns, body, and beliefs—not to relive the past, but to understand its imprint. Through steady attunement, exploration, and nervous system- and trauma–informed care, change becomes possible in places that once felt stuck.
We will trace these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Your responses are adaptations that once protected you. Understanding them opens the door to shifting what now feels painful, repetitive, or hard to name. Clients come to me when they feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, emotional intensity, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or a fear of abandonment.
This work is paced with care. Safety first, insight second, change naturally follows. As your capacity grows, clarity and emotional ease emerge. If you’re seeking a space where your experience is met with steadiness, depth, and warmth, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. I offer both in-person (Downtown Toronto) and Virtual services.

I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens with clients navigating the lingering effects of past relationships, loss, and emotional overwhelm. Many are seeking to rebuild trust in themselves and in connection after painful or destabilizing experiences. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions, with a focus on creating safety, attunement, and gentle nervous system regulation.

We choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach collaboratively. The primary aim is to enhance self-efficacy through homework, psychoeducation, and understanding nervous system responses. Regardless of the method, my practice consistently emphasizes trauma-informed care, recognizing how our histories influence our thoughts and bodily sensations.
