Sometimes life feels heavier than you expected. Whether it’s adjusting to a new country, navigating relationships, coping with loss, or trying to find yourself again, you might feel overwhelmed or stuck. Maybe anxiety, depression, ADHD, or past trauma keep showing up and making daily life harder. Wherever you’re at, you don’t have to face this on your own. I offer a calm, compassionate space for you to feel heard and reconnect with yourself and what matters most to you. Together, we’ll explore the parts of yourself that feel stuck and help you uncover your strengths and inner wisdom to help guide your healing and growth.
My approach is collaborative and intuitive. I’ll help you explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and experiences with curiosity and compassion, and I’ll offer tools and guidance when they’re helpful. You can come just as you are, and I’ll walk alongside you. Together, we’ll move towards your goals and help you feel like yourself again.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative, existential, CBT, and mind-body practices, as I provide trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming therapy. I’ll help you grow into a deeper sense of wholeness and strengthen your confidence and connection with yourself. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honoured to support you.
