I help women heal from trauma, anxiety, people-pleasing, and attachment wounds while navigating motherhood, relationships, and major life transitions.
On paper, you may look like you have it completely together. But internally, the pressure to be the perfect mom, partner, and professional is making you feel like you're constantly underwater. Most of the women I work with are the "reliable ones"; the ones carrying the mental load for everyone else while secretly feeling like they’re one more task away from a breaking point. Whether you’re navigating the heavy identity shifts of motherhood, the pressure of a high-stakes career, or the lingering echoes of past trauma, you don't have to carry the weight alone.

At times, we can find ourselves dealing with thoughts, feelings and life events that leave us experiencing profound emotions like loss, confusion or sadness. Whether the cause is based on childhood events, relationships, work or some unexpected occurrence, the effects are often fairly similar. It may be useful to consider that the goal of therapy is to bring about some kind of change - for example, going from where you are now (distress) to where you want to be (calm and centred). It's a life-changing journey I have had the privilege to accompany many clients on.

Working in healthcare settings for six years, I specialize in supporting people with chronic conditions, grief, and difficult life transitions.
Feeling low? Sensing overwhelmed? Getting stuck? Life is challenging and can be suffering. How we navigate through trauma, pain, hurt, and agony, though, reflects how much we can gain through the experiences. I want you to know that you are not alone as I can be there for you, till we find the light again, together.
I consider life a forever learning and evolving journey with various hurdles and diverse experiences, which aligns with the philosophy of positive psychology (i.e., well-being is a result of learning), person-centred theories, and strength-based approaches.

Perhaps you can pinpoint the exact event when things changed, or perhaps it happened over time. Either way, you feel stuck, alone or like you don’t know who you are anymore. You constantly feel overwhelmed and you find yourself unable to focus or relax. Your reactions can feel overly intense: sometimes you know what triggered you, sometimes you don’t, and yet other times it feels like everything is a trigger. Maybe this brings up beliefs of “something’s wrong with me” or “I’m broken.” You find yourself trying to numb those memories, thoughts and feelings with anything that can distract you. But this is not how you want things to be.

It can be hard to know who you are. We base everything we do off of our personal values and the experiences we've had. Sometimes you can feel lost, not knowing where to go next, not knowing who you are. Maybe you're wanting to change careers because you're not enjoying the daily routine, maybe you find yourself with unsatisfied about who you are and who society wants you to be, or maybe you've followed your family's ways for so long that you are left wondering who you are as an individual. How do we know who our authentic selves are? What does it mean to live our authentic lives?
