We get it — You don't only need to know 'relationship skills' you need your partner to know & use them too! ...when they are triggered & hurt.
(Dang, that's a tall order). We can help, even if you come alone.
You or your partner have probably been afraid that asking for help could make things feel worse or feel "real". > > >
The truth is UNLESS you both learn to support each other in conflict, things do get worse...
But, you don't need to suffer for 6 YEARS like the average couple does.

Do you feel like you are in a constant state of worry, feeling disconnected or struggle to get out of bed? Do you deal with chronic pain, stress, fatigue or feel that your mind and body are fighting against you? I am here to help.
I am interested in working with clients navigating anxiety, depression and trauma, including abuse, IPV, adverse childhood experiences. When the nervous system becomes dysregulated it can impact your mind and body, making you feel as though you are not in control of your thoughts, feelings or behaviours.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, overthinking, or emotional distress who want more than insight alone. Many of my clients are thoughtful and motivated but feel stuck repeating the same patterns between sessions. They are looking for a therapy experience that combines understanding, structure, and practical tools—along with clear guidance they can apply in daily life. My ideal clients value evidence-based care, want to build independence over time, and are open to using thoughtfully designed technology to support learning, skill development, and progress between sessions.

As a therapist, I encourage clients to live in accordance with their values and promote authenticity. I believe that many of the challenges you face in life represent a disconnect between what you see as right, or what is really important to you, and the way that you live those beliefs out. In daily life, this disconnect may be experienced as social anxiety, as you fear what others think of you. At school or in the workplace, this can look like dissatisfaction with your job or studies. In relationships, this can look like resentment or insecurity towards your partner.

If relationships often leave you feeling drained, anxious, or unsure of where you stand, you are not alone. You might find yourself worrying that you care more than the other person, overanalyzing messages, or fearing abandonment. Or maybe intimacy feels overwhelming, leading you to pull back, shut down, or keep emotional distance to protect yourself.
When stress or burnout are added into the mix, these patterns can feel even more intense. You may notice more conflict, more loneliness, or a sense that you can never fully relax in your relationships.

You're a professional woman who looks put-together on the outside. Privately, you're living with high-functioning anxiety: exhausted, overthinking, holding yourself to impossible standards, saying yes when you mean no, carrying everyone's emotions, never feeling good enough.
You might not connect this to your childhood. But emotional neglect, abuse, abandonment, criticism, or walking on eggshells shape your relationships, anxiety, and self-worth decades later. I help women heal the trauma and attachment wounds driving these patterns so you can set boundaries without guilt, feel secure in relationships, and make peace with your past.

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, over functioning, 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

Aug 2026 - You're a woman in your 20's or 30's with ADHD and/or anxiety. You have difficulty regulating big emotions, have a really hard time saying "no", or saying what you truly mean. You're exhausted from putting on a "mask" to get through each day, being a chameleon in order to not let anybody down. You have a hard time making decisions, and feel like your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. You've tried all the things - exercise, meditation, affirmations, daily planners - but nothing seems to help. It's starting to impact your most important relationships - be it romantically, with family, friends, school or work

Do you spend too much time rethinking about the past while feeling anger, shame, sadness, confusion, and guilt? Maybe you grew up in a challenging family environment, 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 work
