Most of my clients come to me after years of being bounced around — poked, prodded, dismissed, told their symptoms are stress or in their head. They live with chronic pain, chronic illness, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, Long COVID, POTS, or medical trauma, and they're done pushing through flares and pretending to be fine. What they want is someone who actually gets it. I do — I live in a chronic-illness body myself. We work on nervous system regulation, pacing, and everything you're carrying alongside the illness, using Pain Reprocessing Therapy, SSP, CBT, DBT, and somatic work. Online across BC, AB, MB, SK, NL, YT, NT, and NU.

Is change possible? Can you feel better? Is healing real or just hyped-up? I remember asking the same questions. Let's talk. Let's find out what's showing up in your relationships, and/or between you and what you want. It's a brave thing to look change in the face and not "know" the mental roadmap. But I can help with this part.
We can do it together. You'll drive and I'll use my training to help you discover more about why you 'always' drive to the same place, or why you have stopped driving altogether. I hold the trust that you have what it takes to find more open roads! (now let me stop with this metaphor for now!)

You are someone who handles things. You always have. But lately, handling things has started to feel like surviving them and you are tired of surviving.
The stress has become structural. The anxiety lives in your body now, not just your mind. You push through because stopping feels impossible.

You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.

Like you, your story is unique and important and deserves to be heard in a validating and respectful way. Sometimes the “story we tell ourselves” has negative messages about our worth and abilities and keeps us emotionally, personally or relationally stuck in unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. I would be honored to hear your story and help you strengthen your inner resources to re-author it into one that better reflects who you want to be.

Are you feeling stuck in a difficult relationship with food, your body, or yourself? Maybe you’re struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns that affect your self-worth and how you show up in relationships? You might feel out of control, disconnected, numb, or at war with your body—especially under the pressure to look, move, or be a certain way? If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live without constant worries about whether you’re “enough,” I get it. I’ve been there too, and I want you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe it’s possible to reclaim your sense of well-being and inner strength.
