Being a stressed, anxious, high-achieving, spirited women, mother, or professional looking to balance the needs of many (including oneself!) in a complex life can feel overwhelming & challenging. It's not easy to navigate the journey to greater peace, contentment, and authenticity, but it can be accomplished with the right tools and support. You can learn to take a pause, unsubscribe, and try something different, and I am passionate about helping you (re)create YOUR meaningful life full of healthy coping skills, empowerment, resiliency & holistic wellbeing.
I focus on unpacking & appreciating your unique gifts to centre your lived experience & needs in a warm & empathetic environment where you are seen & heard. I am one of very few clinicians in Canada doing Lifespan Integration Therapy - a mind-body treatment where memories become integrated in the body gently reducing anxiety and increasing resiliency.
I have almost 20 years of experience with mental health, 15 years of parenting, and a lifetime of creative problem solving. I believe you can have the life you dream of. I'm available virtually on a variable schedule. I look forward to meeting you; please email or schedule a consult through our website.
