You might feel stuck in your own head—like your thoughts are spiraling, your emotions feel too big, or you’re constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe you’re struggling with low self-esteem, feeling down or disconnected, or finding it hard to cope with everyday stress, friendships, or family stuff. You might feel like no one really gets how hard things can be sometimes, and you just want someone to listen without judgment. You’re looking for a space where you can be fully yourself, explore what’s going on inside, and learn ways to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your own life.

Our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. When childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or disconnection occurs, it can impact us well into adulthood—affecting self-esteem, boundaries, relationships, and emotional regulation.
You might feel stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, shutting down in conflict, or feeling anxious in close relationships. These aren’t personal failures—they’re trauma responses your nervous system developed to survive.
As a trauma therapist, I offer a safe, culturally sensitive, and client-centered space to help you explore these patterns at your own pace.

People see you as dependable, organized, and always smiling. Someone they can always rely on for help or support, someone who will always make time for other's. But on the inside you feel like a fraud, overwhelmed, exhausted from trying to keep up this charade, and even resentful at times.

Do you desire to make changes in how you feel about your life? Are you feeling unbalanced, unhappy, insecure, or resentful in your relationships? You want to feel grateful for what you have. You want to feel inspired in your day-to-day life, but you are unsure how to bring about change. You are not alone. Managing self-care, the dynamics of relationships, parenting, and professional life can easily feel like too much to manage. Add medical stress, a child with special needs, co-parenting challenges, and/or workplace stress. Perhaps you notice feelings of anxiety, fear, perfectionism, or repetitive patterns that you long to change.

If you want a different outcome, are you willing to walk a different path? Maybe you're feeling disconnected from yourself or others, overwhelmed by change, grieving a loss, or just wondering, "Why is everything so hard right now?" You might find yourself overthinking, avoiding, people-pleasing, or replaying that awkward conversation from five years ago at 2 a.m. You want clarity, relief, and a way forward that feels genuine and sustainable. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy is a space to slow down and make meaningful shifts.

In the context of a therapeutic relationship and psychotherapy difficulties can be discussed openly and change and growth can occur. Counselling is a therapeutic space for individuals to understand themselves and collaboratively work through challenges and develop skills to improve their quality of life.

I've worked therapeutically with diverse populations, in correctional and community settings, with families, adolescents and adults, for about 20 years. My approach is nuanced and responsive; my lens is anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma informed, queer and trans affirming, and psycho-dynamically and somatically attuned. To me, this means listening to, and noticing with you, communication from various verbal and non-verbal levels. It also means witnessing and acknowledging cultural, systemic, and familial legacies of power and oppression and their impact on our internal and external lives.

Reinvention is a journey, and while it takes time, it is ultimately worth the effort. I can speak from experience! Having personally experienced burnout, anxiety, overwhelm and loss, I can deeply empathize with those who are facing similar struggles. I believe everyone has the potential to live a better life when they feel safe, understood, and validated. My practice focuses on working with people who are experiencing anxiety; who have been through traumatic events; and those navigating life transitions (such as separation, divorce, career changes, moving for work or school, grief and loss, health challenges, and retirement).
