People around you see you as capable, responsible, and “together” —yet internally feel driven by constant self-criticism, pressure, or emotional exhaustion. If you strongly identify with busyness, being a "doer", or often feel like you say yes when you want to say no. Some people close to you might even call you a people pleaser. If you feel like you are "over-functioning", burning out or constantly exhausted because you are always minimizing your own needs to support others. Many people I work with learn this pattern very early on. They learned that to be of value or to survive meant sacrificing themselves for others, or the job.

I specialize in working with adults who want more than symptom management. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, I help people understand and soften the protective parts of themselves—such as inner critics, overachievers, and emotional minimizers—while gently addressing the deeper wounds those parts are protecting (ie Trauma, rejection, abandonment).

Change is hard, but so is feeling lost. The work we do together is about creating deep self-understanding and trust in yourself. This is how we build meaningful and lasting change. f you’re ready for deeper healing work and want to understand why you feel the way you do—not just how to cope—I may be a good fit.

My work focuses on learning new skills and deepening self understanding. I do this by focusing on a combination of practical interventions (things you can go home and start doing right away) and exploring who you are and who you want to be. I let you guide what areas of your life or yourself you want to focus on.

Narrative

I mostly do what's called "parts work". What this means is that together we get to know all about the parts of you, and how the impact you or have been impacted throughout your life. Kind of like the move "Inside Out", we all have different parts that show up and drive our feelings and behaviours and sometimes they are conflicted/cause harm. I do this using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.
