Have you tried therapy before and found it helpful to vent, but still felt stuck? Maybe you're self-aware (or want to be), yet anxiety, self-doubt, or stress continue to show up in your life and relationships. You don't have to figure it out alone. Together, we'll gently explore what's beneath the surface, helping you understand the patterns keeping you stuck so you can reconnect with yourself, build lasting change, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful, grounded, and fulfilling.

You’re successful in many areas of life, but inside, you feel stuck—unsure of your next steps, overwhelmed by decisions, or disconnected in your relationships. Maybe you're navigating a big life change, questioning your direction, or constantly battling anxiety. You’ve tried to push through, but the stress is catching up. You want clarity, confidence, and deeper connections, and I would love to help get you there. Together, we can work toward real, sustainable, and positive change by challenging current thought patterns and introducing healthy coping skills and techniques.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck, irritable, or disconnected, even if they would not describe themselves as depressed. They may be dealing with relationship stress, life transitions, or a general sense that something is off. I often support young adults, including men and gender diverse clients, who have not always had space to talk openly about their emotions. Together, we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and find a way forward that feels more clear and manageable.

My method is not so much about solving our problems, it's about outgrowing them as we expand and deepen our perspective and personal narrative through soul-centered conversations and work with dreams and stories.
I work with individuals of all ages who are feeling stuck in their professional, emotional and spiritual development, helping them investigate the limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that are holding them back from realizing their full potential for love, intimacy, creativity and enjoyment of life.
My approach is inspired by C.G. Jung, James Hillman, Thomas Moore and others who work with a soul-centered approach.

"TRUE POWER DIMINISHES NEITHER SELF OR OTHER" (Mariah Moser).

I offer down-to-earth, compassionate & neuroaffirmative support as a neurodivergent human (AuDHD/HSP) myself. I work with people along the spectrum from "Could I have/be ADHD/ASD/AuDHD?" to decades post-diagnosis.
Even with a diagnosis, many of us struggle with day-to-day in a neurotypical world. I specialize in helping people move from A(u)DHD burnout toward a more balanced, sustainable way of living uniquely tailored to them.

If you are struggling with bulimia, or other disordered eating, you have likely promised yourself time and time again that this will be the last time that you engage in these behaviours, assuring yourself that you know what to do and that you can stop anytime. You have managed a few days, weeks or months symptom-free, but the behaviours have always returned. Although it may be difficult to imagine getting through life's ups and downs without your disordered eating, I can help you to develop new ways of coping and to achieve lasting recovery. And you will set the pace of your recovery.

I know it can feel overwhelming trying to find the right counsellor, so thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I love to work with clients who: identify as “very self-aware”; feel ready to do the "deeper work"; feel like counselling was not very helpful in the past or like they have plateaued with their current therapist; often find themselves over-explaining to others; feel frustrated by our systems in place; struggle to identify their emotions and/or how to manage them; don’t feel sure who they really are; or are seeking support around depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, challenging family dynamics, and personal growth.

You may be someone who appears capable and grounded, yet feels anxious, disconnected, or chronically overwhelmed inside. You might struggle with burnout, functional freeze, relationship patterns that repeat, or compulsive or addictive behaviors such as overworking, substance use, food struggles, scrolling, or caretaking. Many clients carry the imprint of childhood or developmental trauma, emotional neglect, or misattunement, shaping how their nervous system responds to stress and connection. These patterns are not failures, but intelligent survival strategies that once helped you cope.

Trauma can change how you experience yourself, other people and the world around you. You may appear capable and composed while privately carrying memories, reactions or patterns that no longer fit the life you want. I specialize in PTSD and complex trauma among military members, veterans, first responders and healthcare professionals. I also work with addictions, major life transitions, and the emotional effects of serious health or insurance-related challenges.
