You’ve achieved so much — a move, a new career, a new life chapter. But inside, you might feel emotionally lost, stuck in patterns from the past, or unsure who you really are anymore. You long to feel confident, safe in your body and choices, and capable of building deeper relationships — with others and yourself. You want clarity: to know what’s truly right for you, and how to move forward with purpose. You’re not broken — but you're ready for real change, and a guide to help you find your way back to your true self.
I help sensitive, thoughtful adults reconnect with their inner confidence, discern their truth in relationships, and build trust in themselves again. Using a blend of trauma-informed, somatic, and systemic approaches, I guide clients in healing wounds from family or past partners, navigating cultural transitions, and stepping into their next life chapter.
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform or explain “too much.” You’ll be met with care, clarity, and respect. Whether you're starting over or simply tired of doing it all alone, I’m here to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and strength. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and fully alive — and that journey can start today.

You can choose what fits best: counselling (1h -$130) offers emotional support, self-awareness, and practical tools - it's talk-based. For deeper healing, I offer transformational therapy (1.5hr, $200), which blends talk therapy with somatic trauma work. We focus on specific challenge, resolving unconscious relational, developmental, and inter-generational patterns throughout the process.
