Do you struggle with anxiety that won't switch off, even when life looks fine from the outside? Are you navigating ADHD and wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else feel so hard for you? Or carrying the weight of trauma — something that happened that your body still hasn't quite let go of? You might be a parent running on empty, a teen navigating more than anyone around you realizes, or an adult who has been holding it together for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to exhale. Whatever brought you here anxiety, ADHD, grief, or simply a quiet sense that something needs to change - you don't need to do it alone.
I offer warm, body-aware counselling. My approach is evidence-informed and relational, drawing on somatic awareness, self-compassion, CBT, and DBT. I work with the whole person: the thoughts, the body, and the patterns that developed long before you had words for them. My clients report their anxious symptoms are reduced within 4 sessions.
Whether you're dealing with traumatic experiences, anxious thoughts that follow you everywhere, ADHD that makes daily life feel like swimming upstream, grief, parenting struggles, or a child who is hurting — this is a space where all of it is welcome. I'd be honored to sit with you.

Anxiety isn't a flaw in your wiring — it's your nervous system doing its best to keep you safe. In 8 focused weeks, we explore your story, understand what's driving it, and move toward lasting ease. Healing happens in relationship — and you won't be navigating this alone. Most people feel a real shift within the first month.
