Many people seek counselling while carrying the weight of both present pressures and past experiences. This can leave someone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or constantly on edge while still trying to function and care for others. In my practice, I support trauma survivors through a compassionate, paced approach that helps reduce the impact of past experiences, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild safety and self-trust. The goal is not only coping, but reconnecting with meaning, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility.
I help people work through painful experiences, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with themselves. I use approaches such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT. My practice is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and grounded in respectful, strengths-based care. All parts of you are welcome here.
In this space, your experiences are respected and your voice matters. You are the expert in your own life, and your inner wisdom and strength are pivotal. With compassion and encouragement, we’ll move through challenges together, uncovering resilience and supporting growth at your pace, in your way.
