Maybe you're carrying grief that others don't understand, navigating a chronic illness that has changed your relationship with yourself, exploring your identity, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or life's transitions. My clients are often tired of being strong for everyone else and long for a space where they can simply be human. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with your strengths, honour your story, and move toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
I offer identity-affirming, trauma-informed counselling for grief, chronic illness, LGBTQ+ experiences, polyamory/ENM, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. Together, we'll create a space where you can explore what you're carrying, honour your experiences, and build a life that feels more authentic and aligned.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, lost, or simply tired of carrying everything alone, you're not broken—you’re becoming. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what comes next. When you're ready, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you on that journey.

I blend somatic, relational, and evidence-based approaches to support healing in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable. Rather than focusing on what's wrong with you, we'll explore what's happened to you, how it has shaped your story, and what you need to move forward with greater clarity, self-compassion, and authenticity.
