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.

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.

You are someone who feels the world deeply and often carries the weight of cultural expectations that do not belong to you. Moving from India to Canada alone taught you how to survive, but perhaps you have forgotten how to just be. You might feel like you are constantly performing, or worse, like you are a "fixing" project that is never quite finished. You are ready to stop becoming what others want and start the journey of un-becoming everything that is not really you. You are looking for someone to help you listen to your heart in a world that is often too loud.

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 push through because everything you have built depends on you continuing to function. You are not broken. You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.
