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.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, or a loss of self that affects your daily life and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, frustrated, exhausted by life expectations, living up to someone else’s standards, or thinking there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if life should feel easier, better, or happier? Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to cognitive and emotional difficulties. It shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life. Together, we can take the time to recognize your unique experiences and work through what is holding you back.

When life stops making sense, and the support you thought you’d have isn’t there, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or worn down in ways that are hard to explain. I primarily work with women who aren’t failing at life. They’re exhausted from holding too much for too long, navigating relationship ruptures, chronic stress, trauma, or major transitions while trying to keep it together on the outside. If you’re feeling flooded, shut down, or quietly lost, this is a space where you don’t have to perform or explain your way in. We start where you are.

Maybe you’re here simply because you need a place to catch your breath. I offer a creative sanctuary for that pause.

Drawing on my extensive life and professional experience, I help you meet the “full catastrophe of living” with curiosity, resilience, and care.

Do you find yourself overthinking texts, changes in tone, or what someone’s distance might mean? Maybe you become anxious, preoccupied, or unsure of yourself when you care deeply about someone. You may seek constant reassurance, abandon your own needs to keep someone close, become the "fixer," or struggle to leave relationships that repeatedly leave you feeling hurt and deflated, questioning whether you are enough. The highs are high and lows are low. Together, we can work on understanding your anxiety, and feeling more confident, secure, and at ease in your relationships.

Specialized in trauma processing (EMDR & EMDR 2.0).
- I work with clients (ages 14+) who've experienced trauma, which often comes with depression, anxiety, PTSD, CPTSD, low self-worth, chronic pain, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and other presentations.
- I also work with cumulative trauma (as seen in first responders, nurses, doctors, and 911 employees), in addition to medical and birth trauma.
How we reach your goals: I spend the first few sessions hearing your issues and mapping out a clear EMDR treatment plan with respect to your concerns (if you're looking for EMDR). We also do talk therapy as little or as much as you prefer.
