They may be navigating anxiety, low mood, low motivation, social stress, or a life transition. They’re looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk things through, build coping tools, and better understand themselves so they can feel more grounded, confident, and steady in daily life and relationships.

Are you triggered by other people or your loved ones? Do you feel that trauma that you experienced in the past may be currently affecting you? Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, reactive or emotionally raw? As a trauma survivor, I understand firsthand how unresolved trauma can lead to emotional reactivity, anxiety, depression, and a sense of emotional rawness. By looking into the events that have shaped us, and digging deep into the roots, we can re-process traumatic experiences, helping the body and mind to heal, bringing relief. I use an integrative therapy approach and incorporate EMDR and DBR when appropriate.

Motherhood can crack things open. You may be caring for a new baby while recovering from a hard birth, anxiety, or a quiet loss of who you used to be. For many moms, parts of your own childhood surface in unexpected ways often alongside a deep sense of loneliness.
I work with women navigating birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, and identity shifts in motherhood. Many of my clients feel stuck replaying their birth experience or disconnected from their bodies and sense of self.
Our work focuses on healing at the root so this chapter can be integrated into your story, not something you carry alone.

For many, counselling can feel intimidating—sitting across from someone you don’t know, unsure of what to expect, and uncertain about opening up. I understand. That was me when I first met with a therapist years ago. What I discovered, though, is that counselling is really just a conversation—two people working together toward a shared goal. As a therapist, I desire to create a safe space for that conversation. A place where your thoughts and emotions are heard, your story is understood, and where together we can walk the path toward mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t visible, i.e., grief, guilt, exhaustion, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. It can leave you (and your partner) feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and stuck. Maybe you're doing your best to support others while feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again? Or maybe you're simply tired of dissociating, of pretending, of staying composed while suffering in silence. If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you.
