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 handles things. You always have. But lately, handling things has started to feel like surviving them and you are tired of surviving.

You are a high-performing person carrying more than high performance was designed to hold.

My ideal clients, children, teens, and adults alike, sense something deeper is going on than the surface issue. They may feel burnt out, disconnected, or unhappy without knowing exactly why, ready to actually understand themselves rather than just feel better. I have a particular passion for neurodivergent clients making sense of themselves and the parents trying to understand them. I'm curious by nature and direct by design: I ask the questions others avoid, because real change starts with understanding how your relationships and history shaped who you are today, not with a checklist of coping tools.
