Many of the people I work with have spent years trying harder, communicating better, reading books, or putting everyone else first. They're exhausted. They aren't looking for someone to tell them what's wrong with them. They want to understand why they keep getting stuck and how to move forward.
Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a relationship that feels disconnected, grieving a profound loss, or discovering your neurodivergent identity later in life, therapy can become a place where your story finally makes sense.

I treat trauma - childhood, shock (eg. accidents, medical) and relational (eg. betrayal, bullying) utilizing IFS, EMDR and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT). These models are experiential, not "talk therapy". I also offer Clinical Supervision. I have additional training in treating those suffering and addiction, their family members and adult children of alcoholics. Often, people impacted by addiction - their own or someone else's - carry the heavy burdens of shame, anxiety, low self-esteem and other extremely painful legacies. If you are ready to dive into the roots of your distress, these modalities may be a fit for you.

I work primarily with clients who are inquiring into their spirituality, struggling to find balance and peace in life or recovering from trauma.
With deep respect for the human journey, I bring warmth, curiosity, and a steady presence to this work. Through a relational, body-centered approach, we will explore your experience holistically— listening to sensations, emotions, protective patterns, and the wisdom beneath it all. In somatic therapy, we work collaboratively to support your system and find clarity, integration, and reconnection with your innate bodily intelligence.

Do you find yourself circling around the same issues, or struggling to overcome one particular problem, despite a lot of effort to change? I get how exhausting and sometimes hopeless that place can feel. I work with my clients to drill to the core of what is perpetuating current issues, so that together we create not just coping, but healing. By treating problems at this root level, clients often report having a sense of freedom beyond what they've experienced before. I utilize a combination of therapeutic techniques, however my specialization is in Accelerate Resolution Therapy (ART).

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beneath all the roles you juggle? Many women carry the invisible weight of expectations and can often balance work, relationships, family, and identity at the expense of their own well-being. You may be wondering when life stopped feeling joyful or when you stopped feeling like you. You're not alone, and things don't have to stay this way.

I work with thoughtful, high-capacity women who are late-diagnosed or exploring ADHD, autism, AuDHD, burnout, sensory overwhelm, masking, and chronic exhaustion.

You are thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware. You tend to be the one others rely on. From the outside things look fine, yet inside you feel exhausted. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down. Despite insight, you can’t seem to find resolution. You know you have a choice: keep going and risk further disconnection from yourself or turn towards your inner world and lean into your own becoming. I want you (re)discover yourself. I want you to feel confident that you know who you are and what you stand for. I want you to stop sacrificing yourself so that you can feel alive! You are not broken; it's time for something new to emerge.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
