If you’re great at holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s overthinking, self doubt, people pleasing, and anxiety or depression - you're in the right place. I help clients untangle those patterns, understand where they came from, and learn new ways to move through the world. My style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed, attachment-focused care. We’ll go at your pace with practical tools, honest conversations, and a space where you don’t have to perform to be understood.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns both in your thoughts and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll take time to understand where they come from and what purpose they’ve served, before gently introducing new strategies that feel right for you. Therapy with me is always collaborative, paced to match your needs, and grounded in your goals.

Feel free to reach out to book a complimentary consultation if you’d like to see whether my approach is a good fit for your needs and therapy goals. You can find more information on my website! I look forward to connecting with you!
