Has trauma left you feeling lost, stuck, on edge, generally scared, or disconnected from others? Are there childhood experiences you'd like to resolve? Do you struggle in relationships and often feel alone, misunderstood and somehow different? Has your experience with a religious group left you feeling bad about who you are and with more fears than answers? Are you struggling with the question, "Who am I"? Does depression or anxiety leave you spinning or struggling to enjoy life? I have experience working in these areas with clients, and it would be my privilege to join you as you work your way through to the other side.

It can be hard to retain your emotional balance when you face challenges. Sometimes the first step to finding solid ground is talking about it with someone who understands. My goal is to offer this by listening to your story with care and sensitivity, helping you to uncover your inner wisdom.
I believe safe and caring relationships (with people, and nature) are essential to personal growth and resilience. My approach to therapy is practical and tailored to what you need to strengthen these relationships. This may include exploring your defenses, values, strengths and what you find meaningful to support you on your journey.

Life can often throw some unexpected curve balls our way. When upsets happen, it can be hard to cope. It can be challenging to find purpose and meaning in the midst of pain and disapppointment. We often end up feeling sad, angry, resentful, anxious and undone. We can often feel like there is no hope or that no one cares and, as a result, engage in negative thinking and harmful behaviours. You have strengths and values within you that we can explore to help you be the best you. I use a collaborative, client-centered and non-judgemental approach to help navigate through the issues that are of concern to you.

I try to leave my assumptions at the door when it comes to your experiences, identities, communities, and cultures. I get to be curious about what these feel like and mean to you.

I also have experience in working with adults who are intense, gifted, creative, or neurodivergent.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or cumulative stress, and want to develop a sense of well-being and emotional stability. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic psychotherapy and transpersonal therapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma.
Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations and movement impulses. This allows the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

Your mind feels like it has twenty browser tabs open—deadlines blur, dishes stack, and
sleep is no match for the late-night replay of what you said, didn’t say, or still need to do.
Maybe your relationship is locked in a looping argument, or you’re a service-industry pro
running on caffeine, people-pleasing, and little sleep. ADHD, anxiety, or substance use
might add extra static, or perhaps masking who you really are has grown exhausting.
However it shows up, the “what-ifs” keep you up at night and the weight of carrying it all
alone is getting heavy.

Working with neurodivergent kids, adults, couples, & families is very important to me because I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and struggled a lot without proper support.
I work with people of all ages to support them in their school, work, and home life. Hold a master's degree in counselling and am as comfortable getting my clients support within the educational system as I am helping them work through deep trauma and obstacles holding them back in life. I am currently offering video and phone sessions.
