Struggling with the lingering effects of childhood trauma or abuse? Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, challenges in sex and intimacy, burnout, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries, these experiences can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Trouble with emotional regulation or past domestic trauma can make navigating relationships and daily life feel even more complicated. I’m passionate about helping adults break free from cycles & patterns of intergenerational trauma, guiding them toward more fulfilling relationships with rest, balance, and a stronger sense of self.

Feeling weighed down by the past or stuck in recurring patterns? Do your needs always come last? I help adults explore how experiences shape our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. With an existential perspective, we clarify what matters most to you & highlight your strengths to create a life with purpose that aligns with who you truly are.

I work with adults 18+, guiding you to explore the roots of your struggles and gently heal old wounds. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, build understanding, and develop tools to navigate life with confidence and resilience. My goal is to help you feel empowered and capable beyond our sessions. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on this journey.

Our first session is a starting point. We'll unpack what led you here, the goals you have for therapy, and any patterns or challenges you've noticed. We'll also look at what hasn't felt helpful in the past, so we can avoid repeating it. We'll begin laying out a path that feels supportive, tailored to your needs, and grounded in what works best for you.
