Do you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, struggling to communicate, or feeling like your needs don’t matter? Maybe you’re caught in the same arguments with your partner, unsure how to break the cycle. Or perhaps low self-esteem leaves you questioning your worth and value in relationships and in life. You’re not alone. Many people feel stuck trying to manage emotions, maintain connection, and believe they deserve love and respect. I believe that people and relationships can heal and that emotional regulation, trust, and self-worth can grow with support and guidance. Maybe you are spiritually seeking? I can support your growth.
My approach is to begin by listening and understanding where you are right now. Together, we’ll create a plan to help you strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, and rebuild connection; by using evidence-based approaches like, empathic listening, Attachment-Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing (Level IV), and Art-based strategies.
We’ll work toward lasting change that helps you feel more grounded, connected, and self-assured. Whether you’re healing from past trauma, navigating relationship challenges, or learning to value yourself again, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space, in person or online, where you can begin to heal and grow.

Research has taught us that talk therapy alone rarely fully heals trauma, which is why I also offer AF-EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. Both are life-changing methods to heal from trauma. I am passionate about effective communication and supporting folks to improve their interpersonal communication. My approach to substance/behaviour misuse is flexible and can be harm-reduction or abstinence-based.
