Do panic attacks, anxiety, or the effects of trauma make it difficult to feel safe, connected, or fully yourself? You may find yourself constantly anticipating the worst, avoiding situations, struggling in relationships, or feeling emotionally numb despite appearing to cope. I work with adults experiencing trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, panic, attachment wounds, and relationship difficulties who are looking for more than symptom management—they want to understand themselves, heal, and move forward.
Healing begins within a safe therapeutic relationship. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and individualized, helping you understand how past experiences continue to influence your emotions, relationships, and nervous system today. Our work may include exploring attachment patterns, unmet childhood needs, and inner child experiences.
You don’t have to carry the weight of anxiety or trauma alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who offers a warm, thoughtful, and collaborative space to explore your experiences at your own pace, I’d be honoured to support your healing journey.

Trauma often changes how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or the lasting effects of trauma, therapy offers a space to slow down, understand your experiences, and reconnect with yourself. My goal isn't simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you feel safer, more grounded, and more fully engaged in life.

I believe meaningful change happens within a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. Rather than applying a single therapy model to everyone, I tailor treatment to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My work integrates trauma-informed, relational, attachment-based, and evidence-informed approaches to help you understand the origins of emotional pain and heal longstanding patterns.
