Picture a sacred space of human connection that invites you to make room for the complexity of emotions and healing in relationships. In our sessions, I invite you to cozy up with a warm cup of tea, slow down and reconnect with yourself, and lean into self-acceptance. From a place of gentleness and curiosity, I aim to help you navigate the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that seem too big to carry alone. I believe that healing begins with the permission to embrace our messy imperfect selves. Alongside individual counselling sessions, I also offer trauma-informed yoga classes as a complement to therapy.
My background in yoga and professional sports informs my therapy style where we explore the mind-body connection to make sense of what we think and believe, and what we feel and experience. Healing is multi-faceted and I tailor the sessions to the individual, including the opportunity (if it fits) to utilize creativity, art, movement, and mindfulness.
Embracing a holistic perspective, I believe that relationships are vital to our well-being, and can bring us back home to ourselves. Whether that is through building trust and setting boundaries, building a tool kit to manage challenges (eg. stress, loss, anxiety), increasing self-esteem, or heal in relationships, I hope you reach out. I'd love to meet you.

I have a keen interest in relational healing and the effects of trauma - including issues of identity, self-esteem, emotional regulation, grief and loss, and stress - as well as couples therapy and infidelity. I aim to support individuals to explore the pauses where they can learn to peacefully co-exist with discomfort, bring awareness internally, and choose response over reaction.
