Do you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner, questioning your self-worth, or carrying unresolved attachment wounds or past trauma? Maybe you appear capable on the outside but feel lonely, overwhelmed, or not “enough” inside. Often healing begins by addressing the loneliness beneath it all. If you want a deeper connection, emotional clarity, and relief from the constant mental noise, I want you to know you are not alone on this journey.
I support individuals, couples and families heal from trauma, anxiety and attachment wounds. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming counselling, relationships and integrating spirituality. Using a trauma-informed, compassion-focused approach, I’m here to support you in building secure connections and emotional regulation to promote change in your life.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying things alone for a long time. You deserve a space where you feel safe, understood, and not judged. Together, at your own pace, we will use mindfulness, somatic work, and IFS to support the lasting healing you deserve. I invite you to reach out to me for a free 30-minute consultation.
