If you’re an individual or couple navigating trauma, infertility, loss, or the transition into parenthood, you may be carrying pain while trying to keep everything else together.
My approach combines professional training with lived experience, giving me a deep understanding of grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, and the longing for a more fulfilling life.

I work with adults navigating challenges such as anxiety and mood disorders, low self-esteem, shame, childhood trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues.
Welcome - I'm so glad that you're here! You may be here because your emotions feel out of control. Or maybe you're reflecting on your life and trying to figure out what "love" means. You may struggle to connect with other people, but feel so lonely you can barely stand it. You may be trying to figure out how to love yourself, but aren't sure how. I hear you and I see you! There is so much strength that comes from the courage and motivation to become a healthier version of you. I value the uniqueness of each client story and approach clients with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and non-judgment to help you meet your goals.

I support children, adolescents, and families who are seeking a deeper understanding of emotional, behavioural, developmental, learning, or mental health concerns. Many families come to our practice when something feels “not quite fitting” — when a child is struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, attention, school-related stress, identity development, or challenges that would benefit from a thoughtful and comprehensive assessment. My work combines psychological assessment with collaborative, developmentally informed intervention to help young people better understand their strengths and challenges.

With NLP, hypnotherapy, solution-focused, IFS-informed, and trauma-informed techniques, individuals often discover the missing link to change.
You know that feeling of being "stuck"... stuck in the cycles you repeat in your relationship, career, and life. The problem is, you've tried again and again to change things, and it's not working. Your connection to your partner, maybe your kids, and to yourself continue to struggle. I've been there. The first important way to move forward is to imagine life when these problems are gone. The good news is that whether you are completely ready to dive in, you're coming to the right place.
