Finding your way back to balance and inner calm can feel hard when life feels painful, confusing, or overwhelming. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, identity questions, and major life transitions. You may feel stuck in overthinking, reactivity, avoidance, or uncertainty about what comes next. In therapy, we’ll work collaboratively: you are the expert on your life, and I bring clinical training, curiosity, and support. Together, we’ll make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while helping you move toward a life that feels more meaningful.
My style is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I draw from ACT, CBT, MBCT, the Unified Protocol, and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. With over 20 years of mindfulness practice and meditation teacher training, I can also offer meditation guidance when supportive.
I want to know you as a whole person, not just through symptoms or problems. Therapy can include what hurts, but also what matters, brings meaning, and helps you feel more like yourself. If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d be glad to connect.
