Life can be challenging, and you deserve support. Yet, we as women feel guilty for prioritizing ourselves all too often. We are used to putting others’ needs and comfort before our own. Perhaps you notice being very critical of yourself. Maybe you’re struggling with your relationships, life changes or overwhelming emotions like anxiety, anger or shame. You might be asking yourself: “Who am I? Is this the life I want?” I want you to know that you don’t have to deal with it alone. In my practice, I specialize in helping women navigate challenging life transitions with compassion, care and deep emotional support.

Your weekend hasn't even ended, yet you’re already dreading returning to work. Feelings of anxiety and restlessness are so powerful that you struggle to be fully present with your loved ones. At work, you appear calm and competent in the face of incredible stress, but as soon as you’re home, you feel so physically and emotionally drained that all you want to do is "numb out" by scrolling through social media, binge-watching TV, or using substances. You’ve tried yoga and exercise, but they don’t help. You feel more doubtful and disconnected than ever. Deep down, you yearn for a life that feels more balanced, whole, and purposeful.

I see many kinds of people with concerns ranging from anxiety and depression, to stress, trauma, and loss, to relationships and personal growth.
The people I work with tend to be caring, open-minded, and high-functioning folks who at times march to the beat of their own drummer or have a unique perspective, who may struggle at times even if they don't show it, and who like to ‘get to the heart of things’ in their relationships, in their work, and in their engagement with life. Many things in this life can hurt us, our habitual defences against pain can muddle things, and sometimes we just get lost. Whether you are in the process of healing yourself, fostering deeper connection with others, or pursuing a life well-lived, I am here to support you.
