Many women seek counselling because they have experienced traumatic or difficult situations. I know how these deeply felt experiences can leave us feeling alone, unable to verbalize our distress to those close to us. The lasting impact of past experiences and traumas on current relationships, beliefs and behaviours can keep us feeling stuck in painful patterns. I specialize in working with those in the perinatal period along with those experiencing the impact of complex trauma.

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.
