I work with thoughtful, self-aware people who often understand their patterns well, but want a new lived experience.
You may be highly capable and deeply attuned to others, while still losing touch with your own needs, limits, or sense of aliveness.
I’m interested in what happens beneath the familiar story — the subtle ways we organize experience, protect ourselves, and lose access to choice.
The work is gentle and precise, with an interest in greater connection, freedom, and a more fully inhabited life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by burnout, life transitions, or emotions that resurface when you least expect them. You’re looking for a supportive space to process the past, cope more effectively in the present, and move toward a life that feels lighter and more balanced.

Trauma-informed, body-based therapy for teens, adults, and couples seeking greater safety, connection, and relief from overwhelm. You don’t have to be in crisis to know something isn’t quite right. You may appear to be coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit. You may notice people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. I also provide couples counselling for partners who feel stuck in recurring patterns or want to strengthen communication, trust, and connection.

I help adults and couples who want to have healthy and supportive relationships but instead find themselves feeling misunderstood, unheard, and unhappy. My clients find that issues with romantic partners, family or friends, can be difficult and unfulfilling. They feel lonely and disconnected.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting can bring significant changes to your identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. These transitions can be rewarding, but they can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or difficult to navigate. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a nonjudgmental and trauma responsive space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported, without judgement or expectations. Together, we’ll work to build practical coping skills, strengthen your confidence, navigate challenges, and help you reconnect with yourself and the person you want to be.

Feeling lost, stuck, or out of alignment in your career? These transitions often stir deeper questions of identity and purpose. I use a feminist, somatic and hands on approach. There’s no quick fix or one right path. In my career counselling, I use a transpersonal, psychospiritual approach that honours your intuition, practical life and the archetypes shaping your journey. Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape and reconnect with what feels truly aligned, so you can move forward with clarity, trust, and a deeper sense of purpose. Instead of endless talk therapy, I use a hands-on action-oriented technique called EFT tapping.

Maybe you wake up already tense, your mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Maybe you feel low, numb, or disconnected, even though you’ve learned how to look “fine” on the outside. You might be stuck in the same relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or carrying past experiences that still live in your body. If you resonate with this, I want you to know that you're not alone, and I believe that together, we can create a space where change, growth and a life with meaning is possible.

At different points in life, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. These experiences can build over time, leaving you feeling disconnected from your usual sense of calm, clarity, or confidence. When life feels this way, having a space where your inner experience is met with genuine curiosity, understanding, and compassion, rather than pressure or judgment, can help you make sense of what’s happening inside, build resilience, move foward and better cope with future obstacles.

You’re stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Maybe you're feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed by the demands of life or your relationship. You’re trying to keep it together, but inside, something feels off - misaligned. Conversations turn into conflicts. Emotions feel too big or numb. You’re caught between wanting things to change and not knowing how to begin. Maybe you’ve done therapy before or this is your first time. Either way, you’re craving clarity, connection, and something more sustainable than “just coping.” You’re ready for real change, not quick fixes.
