These patterns can lead to anxiety, burnout, and feeling like you’re replaying the same struggles in your relationships or sense of self.
I help adults navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, ADHD, and trauma. Together, we explore patterns and the stories you carry about worth and identity, gently untangling beliefs that no longer serve who you’re becoming. I offer a gentle and collaborative space to understand what's beneath the surface.

I offer services for an assortment of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, forgiveness, loss, stress, relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, anger management, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum and addiction.
Infertility can feel like something you carry constantly & silently. It’s always there, yet invisible to the world. It can be exhausting, overwhelming, and feel like it’s taken over your life. My approach to healing is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I offer what I like to call "a real person" approach, where I develop deep bonds with my clients, speak with them, and challenge them in ways that are different from what some may have experienced. I tend to stray away from any rigid, by-the-book teachings from the past.
I specialize in infertility because I understand the difficulty it brings, and deeply care about your support.

I'm motivated by my own journey of self discovery to help others to pull back the curtain and discover who they truly are, find their authentic life path, and overcome the patterns of behaviour and thinking that have kept them stuck - most often relating to self-esteem, relationships, and life purpose/school/work
Are you a sensitive, creative, possibly neurodivergent soul who’s been told you’re “too much,” “too emotional,” or “too confusing” for the world around you? Maybe you’re just beginning to explore your true identity or question the roles you were handed - and it feels both liberating and deeply overwhelming. You’ve always felt things deeply, picked up on energy others miss, and turned to things like music, art, tarot, or creativity to make sense of it all. You’ve tried all the tools - therapy TikToks, moon rituals, journaling, breathwork - but nothing seems to create the lasting change you're truly longing for

Stress highly depletes your energy to deal with problems. When feeling tired, frustrated and hopeless, it can seem like there are no solutions. In a safe, calm environment, where you feel accepted just as you are, you begin to develop self-compassion. By being gentle with yourself, coming from a place of non-judgement, you can attain so much. Trust allows you to open and us to work together to explore what is at the root of the problem. As you explore thoughts and feelings, you become more self-aware. Your energy increases and you become stronger, then able to learn effective coping skills to overcome challenges and to thrive.

Or perhaps you and your partner still love each other, but stress, resentment, and distance have slowly changed the relationship.
Therapy with me is warm, grounded, collaborative, and practical. We'll look beyond the immediate problem to understand the patterns driving burnout, stress, anger, disconnection, or conflict. The goal isn't simply greater insight, but meaningful change in how you experience yourself, your work, and the people who matter to you.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
When should a couple seek counselling?
Couples can benefit from counselling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
What can a couples therapist help with?
A therapist can help a couple navigate a wide array of challenges, including balance in the relationship, communication and conflict, boundaries, intimacy and sex, parenting and conflicts with children, family dynamics, life transitions, stressors, job losses, deception, affairs, grief, alcohol or substance use, mental or physical illnesses, general unhappiness, and separation or divorce.
What therapy types are most suitable for couples counselling?
Couples counselling encompasses many effective techniques, including emotionally focused therapy (changing emotional responses to improve attachment), the Gottman method (solving problems and building intimacy), Imago relationship therapy (unearthing childhood experiences), narrative therapy (exploring narratives about the individuals and the relationship), solution-focused therapy (creating a plan for change), and cognitive behavioural therapy (targeting problematic thoughts to change behaviour).
Does couples counselling work?
Research shows that couples counselling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
