I help those who need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgemental space to peel back the layers of their experience and understand how it influences their present and future. I am here for folks who are looking to connect with their authentic selves, process their pain, experience healing where it feels needed, and ground into their innate strength and capability, so they can move forwards in whatever way they wish for themselves. Some areas I specialize in: -people-pleasing -shame -childhood/complex trauma -perfectionism -anxiety -burnout -stress -emotional regulation -relational wounding -life transitions
My practice is trauma-informed, client-centered, holistic, inclusive, and strengths-based. The therapeutic approach I take is tailored to each individual and their unique needs, and is rooted in Self-Compassion Theory, Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), Adaptive Information Processing (AIP/EMDR), Somatic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
If you find yourself struggling to navigate the hardships you’re facing, and are noticing that this is impacting your ability to live life in a way that aligns with your values and needs, I am here to unpack it with you. You are not alone. If you think I might be the right helper for you, reach out to me, and let's talk!

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, coping, self-esteem, and people pleasing. During sessions we will work collaboratively and you will learn how to compassionately tend your emotions and needs, to support yourself through present challenges. We may also address any connection between present struggles and your past, so you can experience healing at the root of where it is needed.

I use parts work (IFS) and self-compassion theory in my practice. In our work, we will identify how your current challenges may relate to your efforts to create safety for yourself. Using self-compassion, you will learn how to unconditionally support yourself so that these protective tendencies (that might not be serving you) are no longer needed; helping you to experience healing and change.
