Currently unable to accept new clients
King Street East Kitchener, ON N2G
Currently open to new clients! I often work with people have been experiencing long-term emotional pain and mental health issues. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by fears that don't always make sense, caught between wanting closeness and needing distance in your relationships, or struggling to align your behaviours with your values. Many of the people I work with carry a deep sense of shame and loneliness. These struggles are often rooted in early relationships and repeated experiences of not feeling seen, understood, or safe. I prioritize moving at a pace that honours safety, consent, and your nervous system.
I have extensive training in complex trauma and working with those who have multiple coexisting mental health concerns. I work with concerns like C-PTSD, anxiety and depression, personality and dissociative disorders, disordered eating and OCD. I aim to offer a collaborative and affirming space. I also specialize in Autism, ADHD, and non-monogamy.
I centre a dignity-first, attachment based perspective that honours the mind-body connection. If you’re seeking a space where complexity is met with care and curiosity, I'd invite you to reach out. I welcome your questions and would be glad to explore whether working together feels right for you. I offer a free 15 minute phone or video consult.
