Anxiety, Panic, Obsessive Thoughts... these experiences can make you feel helpless and alone. Having provided counselling and therapy for over 12 years, I have seen how common the experience of having “anxiety about the anxiety” is. I am passionate about helping people to understand how anxiety/mood issues operate, the grip they form on you, and how to begin to heal. I am also dedicated to helping those who suspect they are struggling with a narcissist in their life. I strive to help clients understand how this negative pattern of behaviour is impacting them and how to start protecting themselves.

Hi, I'm Shae. My approach to therapy cultivates a calm, supportive space where you set the pace, and every part of you is welcome, even the confusing or unsure parts. This can be a space where you feel safe to slow down, breathe, and begin to make sense of what’s been weighing on you.
In our work together, I use a mix of body-based tools (ex., grounding and calming your nervous system), practical coping strategies, and honest, real conversations. We’ll take things one step at a time and focus on what feels manageable for you.

Accepting new clients! If you’re anything like many of the people I work with, you might be carrying pain that didn’t start today—but still shows up in your everyday life. Maybe it’s from early experiences, relationship hurt, or attachment wounds that left you questioning your worth or feeling anxious when things get close. You might struggle to trust, to feel safe in your body, or to ask for what you need without fear, guilt, or self-doubt. Sometimes, the anxiety hits without warning—and it’s exhausting.
