Maybe you’ve spent years being the strong one. The one who keeps going, keeps showing up, keeps taking care of everyone else. From the outside, your life may look functional, even successful, but inside, you’re exhausted. Perhaps you’re carrying anxiety, grief, shame, relationship struggles, trauma, or a complicated relationship with food and your body. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or like you’re constantly fighting battles that nobody else can see. The strategies that no longer serve you make sense, but maybe it's time to release holding it all together.
I have a particular passion for working with trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, relational wounds, and major life transitions. I enjoy helping people make sense of the parts of themselves they often feel ashamed of, because I believe healing happens when we can meet those parts with understanding rather than criticism.
Therapy with me isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about creating enough safety, insight, and self-compassion that you can live more fully as yourself. If you’re looking for a therapist who can hold both the depth of your story and the possibility of change, I’d be honoured to connect.
