You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to ask for what you need, especially if you've spent years holding it together for everyone else. Maybe you're navigating a relationship that doesn’t feel quite right, questioning your identity, recovering from something no one else knows about, or just burnt out from always being “the strong one.” I work with adults of all genders navigating life transitions, emotional overload, trauma, relationship stress, and recovery from abusive relationships including narcissistic or covert abuse. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who feel lost or disconnected.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and real conversation. I integrate ACT, IFS, DBT, narrative, and anti-oppressive practices to support your healing in context, not by pathologizing you. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you can be honest, challenged, validated, finally heard and free to be you.
I’d be honoured to walk alongside you as you make sense of where you’ve been and move toward where you want to go. You don't have to be in crisis to seek therapy. You don't have to be in crisis to seek therapy. You don't have to be in crisis to seek therapy. If you're ready (or just curious), we can start where you are. I offer free 15-minute consult calls.
