Are you navigating feelings of anxiety, conflict in your relationships, or feeling like your emotions are out of control? You are not alone. Together, we can explore your journey with compassion and curiosity, creating a safe and grounded space where you can reconnect with your values and true self. Specializing in identity exploration, relationship conflict, and trauma stabilization, my work is rooted in inclusivity, equity, and deep respect for your lived experience. I’m passionate about helping you find meaning, value, and authenticity during uncertain or challenging times.
I am certified in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and integrate Polyvagal Theory and attachment-based approaches to support safety, stabilization, and healing. I also bring training in agriculture-informed therapy and understand the unique challenges of rural life, including isolation and mental health stigma.
Healing isn’t always linear, and growth isn’t always graceful, but it is possible. If you're ready to explore your story in a space that’s affirming, collaborative, and rooted in mutual respect, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. “I offer Free 15-minute consultations, no referral needed.
