Let's Connect (236) 201-1827

You might be here because life feels heavy- grief, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, or relationship strain. You want calm, clarity, and connection. My passion is helping individuals and couples move from overwhelm to steadier moods and stronger relationships. Using evidence-based, trauma- and attachment-informed care, we map patterns, heal wounds, and build skills for regulation, communication, and self-compassion. Sessions are warm, practical, and paced to your nervous system. If you’re hoping for gentle, lasting change, I’m here.

I help individuals and couples improve communication, manage anxiety and ADHD, and heal from trauma. Using attachment-based, somatic, and emotion-focused approaches, I guide clients to understand patterns, regulate emotions, and build stronger, more connected relationships that feel calm, authentic, and fulfilling.

I know how hard it can be to feel stuck in patterns that leave you anxious or disconnected. You don’t have to face this alone. Therapy offers a safe space to feel seen, supported, and understood as you heal and grow. If you’re ready to make a change, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. If calling feels hard, you're welcome to send a text.
