Obsessive Compulsive Therapist. Obsessive thoughts can range from replaying conversations to images and thoughts that scare and exhaust you. Do you notice a persistent feeling of uncertainty and a need to feel safe? You may have impulses to repeat actions or seek endless reassurance that never satisfies the fear that your partner will leave you. There are many ways you can feel compelled to check things online, count, or reread to find a sense of ease. Even though these strategies offer a moment's rest, the same unease returns. These thoughts and rituals interfere with work and relationships, particularly during stressful times.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you want to be. Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, addiction, grief and loss, or ongoing anxiety, shame, or low self esteem. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a deeper sense of understanding, along with a space where you can slow down and feel genuinely heard. Often the goal is not to fix something, but to feel more grounded, regulated, and connected to yourself and your life.

Being a human being is complicated, and often difficult, and we all need understanding and support from other people. I work as a counsellor because I want to provide that support and understanding, and I want to help people find and reclaim power in their lives, even in the face things they cannot change. I work as a team with my clients to build on their skills and strengths, figure out what coping strategies might not be working for them anymore, and find new ways of coping and being in the world. I work with all kinds of clients, and I am particularly interested in supporting neurodiverse, disabled, and chronically ill clients.

My clients want relief from emotional pain and guidance on their journey toward self-improvement. They may have tried self-help strategies, or perhaps even other therapists, but they’re still looking for something deeper and more effective. They want to work with someone who has life experience that truly understands them, someone who can see past surface-level issues and help uncover the deeper, root causes of their struggles.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples who have experienced significant trauma in their lives, including those with complex PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I believe that when we experience trauma, we can feel trapped in the past, frozen by the challenge of letting go of the pain, and unable to enjoy the present. So I want to help you process those past hurts so that you can get back to living the life you want. I provide therapy to people of all cultures, faiths, genders, and sexual orientations, valuing each person’s unique experiences.

Are you experiencing anxiety, difficulty sleeping, a tense or painful body, or a sadness that lingers no matter what you do? Trauma can cause the body to develop a state of hypervigilance—a persistent sense of being on guard, as though it is continually braced for danger. Over time, these patterns of stress and tension can contribute to chronic pain, depression, digestive issues, PTSD-anxiety symptoms, insomnia, sexual health challenges, immune system dysfunction. By creating greater freedom in the body, breath, and energy flow, Somatic Therapy helps foster regulation, healing, and a deeper sense of well-being.
