My ideal client is tired of saying yes, tired of having to do everything themselves and looking for balance instead of burnout. I support women in transition, or women considering transitions and help to figure out what is important and how to prioritize our nervous system, health and well being, first and foremost. We work together to re-build your lost sense of self and find a pathway into a more enjoyable, less burdened way of being. My clients are ready to begin caring for themselves in a way that works by stabilizing the nervous system, exploring and prioritizing values and implementing changes to be in alignment with self.

Welcome, and thank you for taking this brave step toward healing.
My practice is rooted in helping you rebuild confidence, reclaim agency, and move toward self-actualization in ways that align with your values. It can be difficult to see a clear path from where you are to where you want to be—especially when you’ve been shaped by coercion, abuse, or burnout. I believe real change grows from honest, grounded moments—not from dramatic shifts, but from steady, compassionate steps.

Our past experiences impact us in ways we may not even realize. Our nervous system jumps in to protect us in ways that it has helped us survive in the past (this could look like feeling foggy, anxious, depressed or numb). This often prevents us from operating how we wish to. Working to reconnect the body with the mind to our present, adult self can help resolve this disconnection. I believe that we all deserve to experience connection, empathy, attunement and safety and that this is often the missing piece.

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.

Are you feeling burned out from carrying too much for too long? You might feel disconnected from yourself after trauma, challenging relationships, or ongoing stress, and feel like continuing the same way isn’t possible. I know how exhausting and heavy that can feel, I’ve been there too. Many people I work with want more than just talking about the past—they’re looking to feel present, grounded, and like themselves again. My approach balances trauma-informed emotional work with practical tools, supporting you to experience life with more presence, richness, and ease.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” – Rumi
Therapy, at its best, is a space for healing, discovery, and meaning-making. As a humanistic and existentially oriented therapist, I believe every individual holds an innate drive toward growth—even amidst pain. I’m here to walk alongside you, not to “fix” you, but to witness, support, and gently guide you back to your own inner truth.
I work with children, youth, and adults, many of whom are navigating the challenges of cultural identity, emotional overwhelm, intergenerational trauma, or difficult life transitions.

Imagine you’re sitting across from each other again…
Not as enemies. Not as strangers.
Just… you two.
Imagine your hands don’t pull away this time.
Imagine your eyes meet—and don’t look down.
Imagine the words you never said…
finally finding their way out.
Imagine the silence isn’t heavy—
it’s safe.
Imagine the anger softens…
and underneath it, something honest is still there.
Imagine a kind of love that still has dignity—
respect, even in the pain.
Maybe nothing is the same as before.
But maybe… something real is still possible.
You don’t have to imagine it alone.

Relational Trauma Therapist and Consultant. Does it seem that relationships have been a constant struggle rather than a refuge? Was your childhood filled with trying to be perfect to get attention or disconnecting from your needs and focusing on what other people need? Early experiences can leave you feeling unworthy, discouraged and disconnected. Now it is a daily struggle to feel ok and resist the self-criticism and self-doubt that leave you feeling less than others. You may have learned to disconnect from these painful feelings and try to "figure things out" on your own. Deep down, you know it is time to do something different.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” Mark Twain Therapy isn’t about labels or being told what to do. It’s about motivation for change and cultivating change in your life. Self awareness is essential for change as Socrates said with his “Know Thyself” quote. From self-awareness comes the awareness of choice. From the awareness of choice comes the all-important awareness of responsibility. It’s your life and, hence, your responsibility. I strive to help you in this process by getting to know you, your goals, challenges and the way you make sense of your life.
