You may be exhausted from always being the "strong one". The one who puts others first, overthinks every interaction, and struggles to ask for what you need. Perhaps you find yourself in challenging relationship dynamics, fearing rejection, losing yourself in caring for others, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling hurt and emotionally exhausted. You may understand where these patterns come from, yet still feel stuck in them. Many people come to therapy after years of carrying everything on their own. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change.

I work with adults navigating attachment wounds, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, ADHD-related challenges, and chronic stress. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and attachment-focused, grounded in an understanding of how early experiences shape the nervous system, identity, and patterns of connection.

Therapy with me is trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced with care. Together, we explore the patterns that no longer serve you while building a more secure relationship with yourself and others, grounded in your innate capacity for growth and healing. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. It would be an honour to support you.

I support adults experiencing anxiety and low self-worth, related to their relationships or family. Many feel stuck in cycles of over-functioning, people pleasing and emotional exhaustion. Therapy with me focuses on building safety, and gently exploring the roots of present day patterns so you can experience more clarity, connection, and confidence in both your inner and relational life.
