I weave together my many years of experience in mental health care with Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems/parts work, nature-based practices, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment theory, polyvagal theory and general fun facts about the nervous system. I offer a compassionate space to land, talk things out and feel heard, learn practical tools and skills, feel more regulated, empowered and connected to yourself and others, explore and create new patterns in your body, deepen self-awareness, and get unstuck. You can expect to feel attuned to, validated, and met with zero judgment and a whole lot of empathy.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, stretched thin, or silenced beneath the weight of everyone else's needs—know this: you’re not alone. You’re responding to a world that often asks women to carry more than their share. Your feelings are real. And they matter. So many women navigate the world quietly carrying the effects of relational trauma, caregiving overload, and unresolved generational wounds. It's exhausting trying to keep it all together when what you really need is space to unravel, understand, and rebuild on your own terms.

Life can be hard at times, and when we meet the messy moments it can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hopeless. We are human, after all. It makes sense that we may find ourselves stuck at times - stuck in our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and it can be tough to shift things in the right direction, especially if we are doing it on our own. With honesty and compassion, therapy is a place to explore what you're navigating and create sustainable change that supports your healing and growth. I support women who are wanting to shift out of survival mode so they can feel grounded, confident, and free.
