If you experienced narcissistic abuse in your family, relationship or any other setting I understand how challenging it might be to heal the wounds, find your voice and self-esteem back.

I believe in providing a non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel safe to be yourself.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean?

I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems.
