If you identify as a neurodivergent, chronically ill, BIPOC &/or immigrant woman, queer or trans person, you may be carrying exhaustion, self-doubt, or disconnection shaped by systems that were not built with you in mind. You may want relief from burnout, stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and relationships that feel safer and more authentic. Your goal may be to feel grounded, understood and resourced enough to live, work, study, and care for others, without losing yourself in the process. You want and deserve support that is thoughtful, collaborative and human.
I offer trauma-informed counselling tailored to your goals, identities and capacity. I support burnout recovery, boundaries, neurodivergent and identity-based stress, and relationship concerns through collaborative, flexible sessions that blend reflection, practical tools and compassion.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate and collaborative space where you can slow down, feel understood, and work toward change at a pace that respects your capacity. I’d be glad to support you when you’re ready.
