Do you feel like you're always saying yes when you want to say no, replaying every conversation in your head, heart pounding over things that shouldn't feel this big? Maybe you grew up disappearing at the sound of footsteps, always scanning, bracing, reading the room before you could read words. Now you're the reliable one overachieving, overfunctioning, trying to prevent disaster before it hits. You’ve done the apps, the books, the deep breaths, the cold plunges, maybe a few glasses of wine to quiet the noise. But inside, you're frozen. Longing for something you’ve never fully had: a nervous system that feels safe and like home.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal.

You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how.

Do you spend too much time rethinking about the past while feeling anger, shame, sadness, confusion, and guilt? Maybe you were raised by emotionally immature parents, struggle to set boundaries, find yourself in painful codependent relationships, and feel responsible for others’ emotions. You’re always in fight-flight-freeze, and can't break the patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (for long). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that works.

Accepting new clients! My psychoanalytical practice is grounded in the belief that long-standing, repetitive issues — those that seem to resist resolution despite your best efforts — are most effectively addressed by uncovering unconscious motivations that drive thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. I work with challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, loss, addictions, physical illness, and family-of-origin issues.
