Taking the first step toward therapy can be challenging and overwhelming! My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable sharing any challenges you may be facing. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
So many of us move through life on autopilot - trying to meet expectations, keep it together, and show up for others - while quietly feeling disconnected or unsure of ourselves.

Hello. Welcome. I will support you to overcome your current challenges, recover from the painful wounds you carry and/or trauma you may have endured. You can feel better. You don't have to go it alone. Explore: overwhelm/stress, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, self-esteem, etc. If you find life difficult, if you want to heal past childhood wounds: emotional, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, indifference and/or neglect - contact me. Healing can be transformative, involving an honest and open exploration of your thoughts & emotions; if you are ready to do this, we are likely a good therapeutic fit.

Emotional suffering is painful and lonely. It doesn't have to be. Psychotherapy is talk therapy that promises change through self-awareness. The more understanding we have of ourselves, our feelings, the more choice, fulfillment and peace we have in our lives. Understanding our emotional life contributes greatly to the joy of life. In psychotherapy, we examine our emotional life with the goal of distinguishing functional from dysfunctional patterns of behaviour. Psychotherapy provides a context for close examination of our relational life and can help us uncover relational habits that contribute to our suffering.

You may be the person everyone relies on while quietly feeling exhausted underneath. Your mind rarely slows down. You overthink conversations, second-guess yourself, carry responsibility for others, and push through stress even when you are running on empty. Over time, this can leave you feeling anxious, burnt out, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you genuinely need anymore. Therapy can offer space to finally exhale, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and compassionate way.

I know that life can feel heavy sometimes — whether it’s the weight of childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, systemic barriers, or navigating relationships that don’t always feel safe or supportive. Maybe you’ve survived violence, grown up with parents who couldn’t always show up in the way you needed, or you’re carrying intergenerational wounds that keep resurfacing. Sometimes we seek therapy in a moment of crisis, but therapy can also be about maintenance, reflection, and having a safe space to release the daily things we hold in.

Accepting New Clients! Do you feel like your value is tied to your last achievement? On the outside, you’re composed and capable; on the inside, you’re exhausted. I help individuals trade the "performance" of their lives for genuine self-worth. Using IFS, we’ll get curious about your "perfectionist" parts so you can lead with more calm. With Narrative therapy, we’ll rewrite the "not enough" stories you’ve carried, and through ACT, I’ll help you unhook from self-doubt so you can live a values-driven life. Together, we’ll move toward a sense of belonging that doesn’t require you to be perfect.

I support individuals navigating relationship challenges, major life transitions, identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and parenting stress. I have a particular interest in working with those carrying the weight of multiple roles, exploring trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer fit.
Life can shift unexpectedly, and I offer a grounded, supportive space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and reconnect with the parts of you that already know how to adapt and endure. My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, with the option to integrate spirituality if that is meaningful to you.

You're managing ADHD, anxiety or depression while the world expects you to keep performing. You're drowning in responsibilities, racing thoughts, and a nervous system that won't settle. You want to stop surviving & start living, to wake up without dread, set boundaries without guilt, and trust yourself again. You're seeking more than coping strategies; you want sustainable change. You need someone who understands that "just relax" isn't helpful, that your brain works differently, and that healing isn't linear. You're ready to build resilience, regulate your emotions, and rediscover the truest version of yourself.
