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.

I would be honored to hear your story and help you strengthen your inner resources to re-author it into one that better reflects who you want to be.

You’re not broken—you’re resilient, but you’re tired of just surviving. You’re ready to understand what drives these patterns and gain tools to live with confidence and connection.

You look like you have it together. But underneath, you are exhausted. You overthink. You people-please. You keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns, no matter how hard you try. Some days you feel too much. Other days, completely numb. The anxiety lives in your chest, your stomach, your sleep, not just your head. Maybe you have carried family expectations or cultural pressures for so long that you have lost sight of who you actually are. You are not broken. You are someone who has been carrying too much, for too long, alone. And you are ready for something different.
