I’m here to support you. I’ll listen carefully to understand your story so we can find a way forward together. Hard times, loss, trauma, and life struggles can make us unable to see our inner strengths. Sometimes, we need support to unlearn negative beliefs and reconnect with our resilience. Whether you're struggling with personal challenges or relationships with yourself or others I’m here to help. I have been guiding students in their personal growth, building confidence, and navigating life’s challenges with strength and self-awareness for over a decade.

I work with adults who are holding more than most people can see. Grief, anticipatory loss, caregiver burnout, dementia, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and major life transition often all at once. Many of my clients are supporting a loved one through long-term care or end-of-life, while quietly pushing their own needs aside. You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. This is where we begin. I offer trauma-informed grief counselling and caregiver support in a steady, compassionate, real space.

When we feel overwhelmed, trapped, powerless, or simply confused about where we are right now, what we need, why we find ourselves repeating the same patterns, or how to move forward, seeking counselling can be an important first step. My clients may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions and grief. Whether working individually or with couples, we explore beliefs, recurring patterns, past wounds, present challenges, and goals while building on strengths, resilience, hope, and deeper understanding. Meaningful change begins with the relationship we have with ourselves first.

If past trauma makes it hard to be authentic in your relationships or you feel overwhelmed, stuck in your head, unable to slow down or find calm, you’re not alone. Let’s work together to understand what your body and brain need to process and file away the past. I have a strong interest in the nervous system and take an evidence-based, science-informed approach. I work from a compassionate and emotion-focused lens, helping your system respond to the world with confidence and peace.

You may have grown up feeling unsafe, unseen, or responsible for other people’s emotions. As an adult, this can show up as a harsh inner voice, chronic anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You might feel exhausted from holding it together and wonder why things that seem easy for others feel so hard for you. These are common responses to trauma and abuse, not personal failures. Therapy can help reduce shame, increase emotional regulation, and support you in feeling more grounded, present, and connected.
