I’m a trauma-informed counsellor who helps people heal from complex trauma and CPTSD. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you’re not alone. In a warm, non-judgmental space, we’ll explore your inner world through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens, gently getting to know the parts of you that protect and the ones that carry pain. Together, we’ll build safety, self-compassion, and regulation so you can reconnect with your authentic self and move toward a life of balance, meaning, and wholeness.
I specialize in supporting clients healing from complex trauma and CPTSD. In a safe, compassionate space, we gently explore thoughts, emotions, and parts of self while building skills to ease anxiety, depression, and dissociation. My approach blends IFS, somatic awareness, and evidence-based care to foster healing and resilience.
I specialize in supporting those healing from complex trauma and CPTSD. Together, we’ll explore your inner world with compassion, helping you calm anxiety, lift depression, and feel more connected to yourself. Healing is possible—you don’t have to face it alone. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk beside you on your journey.
