Feeling unsure, anxious, or disconnected in your relationships can feel painful and confusing. You might find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to express what you really need. I help individuals who want to better understand themselves in relationships, whether you’re navigating a difficult dynamic, trying to break old patterns, or learning how to feel more secure and confident within yourself.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work from a warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach that moves at your pace. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and somatic techniques to help you explore your experiences, manage emotions, and reconnect with your authentic self.
I'm known for my down-to-earth, empathetic presence in sessions. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, without judgment or pressure. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like. Healing takes courage, and I’d be honoured to support you.
