Maybe the world is - or has been - a very uncomfortable place for you. Perhaps you feel anxious or panicked despite no present threat; Your emotions/reactions don’t really match what’s happening in the here-and-now; You oscillate between hurting and numb; You live with chronic hormone issues, GI troubles, unexplained pain or illness, fatigue, or burnout? Maybe it’s all just a lot, right? But you're not alone. We've got this.

My counselling style is experiential (i.e., we use your here-and-now, moment-to-moment experience to explore and process), relational, and body-based (i.e., somatic). Through attending to the subtle shifts in the body, we uncover new meanings and insights, deepen self-understanding, and attune to innate healing capacities.
