We’re all born into systems and socially constructed narratives that impact us, and unravelling your story within those systems and narratives makes space to rewrite it. I want to empower you to tell your story, now and in the future, despite whatever boxes the world tries to put you in. By creating the building blocks of radical self-acceptance through self-reflection and self-discovery, we can explore alternative perspectives to constructing new meanings and possibilities. This process can help you expand your thinking, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and develop more flexible and adaptive ways of thinking and being.

Living in today's world is hard and complex. Psychotherapies have also evolved a lot in the past 10 years, and the timing is ripe to heal intergenerational trauma. My approach seeks to meet people where they are at and provide a deep understanding from which change can happen. I've been a therapist for 14 years and retrained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Somatic Psychotherapy halfway through my career. I have a lot of trust in people's ability to heal and change, having witnessed these profound journeys many times.

Do you live with sensory sensitivity, a mood disorder, or a developmental or physical disability? Have your diverse needs caused significant changes or loss related to your health, spirituality, work, status, hobbies, or social life? In the most challenging of times, it’s easy to lose touch with your sense of self, safety, and hope; it can be hard to see where you have choice. But what if you could lighten the burden you carry — a little at a time — creating more space in your life for the things that nourish you? What if you gained more clarity around the choices you can make to start building a new life experience?

I enjoy working with women and mothers experiencing burnout, depression, anxiety, infertility, isolation, grief and loss, parenting difficulties, and aspects of identity. I also support family caregivers who often feel shaken or unsettled throughout the turbulent waves of the caregiving journey. I invite you to discover simple, effective methods for reconnecting to who you truly are. When we place our minds on a specific cluster of themes such as caregiving and motherhood, I have discovered that our soul takes us down deep into realms that we never could have imagined from the surface.

The deepest desire of a human is to belong…to be heard…and to be accepted… Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that are tough to manage or resolve on our own. There are times when we need to ask for help in order to find ourselves and to move forward. As a person and a counsellor, I know that life’s challenges can happen at all stages of our lives at multiple levels and that every situation is unique to us alone. Circumstances that can challenge how we think, how we perceive, how we believe and how we respond.

Over the past few years our work, schools, homes, families, and daily occupations have been disrupted. As a result, we may feel stressed, overwhelmed, or deeply discouraged. In the absence of the activities we typically 'do', we may have become increasingly vulnerable to unhealthy behaviours and patterns. I can support you to build awareness of your internal and external challenges, develop new skills and capacities, and reveal new opportunities for growth.
