Do you feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or low self-worth? Maybe you’re coping with trauma, grief, or difficult relationships, or navigating big life transitions like becoming a parent or entering a new stage of life. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, longing for change but unsure how to get there. Many people come to therapy wanting to feel more grounded, connected, and confident. They are looking for relief from painful emotions, a deeper understanding of themselves, and the tools to move forward with greater strength, clarity, and resilience.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges with warmth and compassion. Using trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, TF-CBT, EFT, and mindfulness, I tailor therapy to your unique needs. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, build coping strategies, and create meaningful steps toward healing and growth.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through this alone. Together we can explore your challenges at a pace that feels right for you, helping you find clarity, connection, and resilience. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing and meaningful change, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
